So I've been out of commission for a week. Really out of commission. Last Tuesday, May 26th, I woke up not feeling too well. I had stomach and abdominal pains. As the morning progressed I began to feel severely chilled and light-headed. I put my son on the bus for school and called my husband to come home. I ended up in the ER, then was transferred and admitted to my original surgical hospital with a post-surgical abdominal infection.
The last week has been spent in the hospital -fighting the infection, having lots of blood drawn, pushing my I.V. stand around the halls and trying to eat the hospital food. The staff was wonderful, and really helped to make it bearable.
I finally came home yesterday. I am tired and hooked up to funky drainage stuff -ick!, but oh so glad to be home again!
Oh Lynn! You are having a tough go - I am so sorry! I wish I lived nearby to lend a hand. I'll lend you good thoughts and prayers instead. xo Brenda

I can imagine that to be quite a scare. Glad to see that you're home again!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home - We've been looking forward to this news!
ReplyDeleteoh gosh Lynn, so sorry to hear that! I hope you feel tip top soon and take care of yourself. My dad has been hooked up to a wound vac machine with a man purse that he has to carry around, and I get the fun job of changing drainage cartridges and what not, so I can only imagine.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you alot and I hope you are keeping your spirits up!

Thank you everyone! I'm in a weird limbo, where there is so much to do and I can just lay around. Thank you for the well-wishes...they really help. :^)
ReplyDeleteOh, Lynn!!! I was wondering where you'd been hiding. It sounds like you're on the mend, and I'm glad to hear it. Take it easy, (literally).
