Not dead...

[kseenaa]

Well, not yet at any rate... But I have been through quite the ordeal. :-/

Remember my last post? How I got very sick and thought I just had a regular old stomach flu? Well.... It was... worse then that. Quite a lot worse. :-P

I went to the emergency at the hospital midnight Wednesday 2nd, after having spent Tuesday and Wednesday not being able to eat and hardly drink... After some poking around the emergency Doc came to the conclusion there was something wrong with my intestines.... So, I was hospitalized, and they started to do x-rays... This they continued doing the entire weekend, while I had to have a tube in my nose and down my throat to relive pressure in my stomach and in my intestines. To say that weekend was from hell, would be an understatement. They hoped they could relive the problem in the intestines without surgery, but no such luck.

Come Monday 6th it was time for surgery. At 10:30am they took me down to prepare for the surgery. At 6:30pm I woke up after the surgery. It was quite a big and complicated one. Remember my Endomteriosis? Well, it proved from the x-rays that not only had my intestines gotten stuck in my old surgery wound, but they had grown stuck together AND a bunch of endometriosis cysts had decided to grow on my intestines as well. All in all, my insides was a huge mess.

It took one surgeon, a great Doc, and a gynecologist Doc to get it all fixed up during those 8 hours.

I still couldn't eat, of course, after such a big surgery. But I had some great pain relief, a new kind that goes straight into the spine so I could start to move around almost immediately with just a little pain. It only took a few days before I could start to eat simple liquid food, and then on to regular food by Thursday, I think it was... Best meatballs I have ever tasted. And I have been moving around ever since. Since that helps the healing process.

The nurses and the Doc has checked me closely this week after the surgery, and I have healed very well. The wound has closed up nicely. Big wound to. Starts a few centimeters over my belly button and goes all the way down to my private area.... o.O Around 20-25 centimeters long (8 - 10 inches). Kinda huge.

I am not in pain any longer, and I can eat and drink whatever I want, but so far I have to move around slowly, unless it will hurt. And I can't lift anything heavy yet. You don't miss your stomach muscles until you suddenly don't have them anymore.... :-P

Plan for the next couple of days is to take it easy so I'll be fully rehabilitated after this. :-)

Babygirl... I am so glad you are finally home. You gave us quite a scare and our thoughts have been with you all along, and with your hubby, bless him. Erika has kept me posted and if I could have I would have visited you at the hospital.
Lots of love and hugs! Call anytime if you want to and just tell us if we can do anything to help!

The awesome that is you two... :-) Or three, counting Erika. :-D Thank you! I will remember that! *hugs*

[spicehobbit.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaay, you´re home again! *careful hug* And it´s a good think you didn´t get any restrictions with the food.

Also, I met Peter´s aunt on the bus today, and she asked how you were doing. She said she didn´t want to call, if you were too tired. I had to get off the bus before I could tell her you probably wouldn´t mind her calling.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

YAY! I am home! And it feels fucking good, let me tell you!

Thanx for reminding me of aunt. :-) I'll be calling her and our PartyLite friend tomorrow. :-D

[is-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Oh my I'm glad to hear it all ended well
That must have been scary and stressful. *hugs*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was both scary and stressful, very true. But I am recovering well, so I hope I'll continue to do just that. :-)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Considering how much we chatt, I wouldn't call you only an RP-partner. ;-)

And tell me about medical shit being fickle. :-P Endometriosis puts fickle in fickle, trust me. :-P *hates on said disease*

[velociraptorx.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness dear. That is crazy!! I'm really glad that you are all better now and recovering. Take it easy and get 100% again!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Working on it! Thanx luv! *hugs*

[silvestris.livejournal.com]

That sounds absolutely horrible! What luck that they could fix it and that you're recovering so well...
Still, sheesh, nasty stuff. o.o

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, I have had more fun. :-P But I am recovering sorta well, yes. :-) It'll take time before I am 100% alright though. :-)

[(Anonymous)]

Well, considering how nasty it got, it's proof of your jävlaranamma that you're up and about at all!
Here's hoping your complete recovery will be a swift, painless and uncomplicated one. ^^

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

He he.... :-) That is true. I never lacked in the Jävlar Anamma department. ;-)

[whichclothes.livejournal.com]

What an experience!! I'm so glad you're feeling better now.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was quite an experience. That I could have been without. :-P But I am working on getting fully recovered as it were. :-)

[astroflammante.livejournal.com]

Oh dear! *hugs* That's quite the experience... Soo happy to hear you're ok.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was. Quite scary, and painful to. :-/ But I lived through this to. Stubbornness and all that. :-)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

I hope so to. :-) And thank you! It is good to hear I have been somewhat missed. :-) It was kinda scary. Your really fucked when things stop working, aren't you? :-P

[http://users.livejournal.com/_devilcandy_/]

Wow, really glad to see that you're home again! I was just about to call and ask. Hope the DS made the hospital stay a bit less boring. Now take care, you hear? ;-) *HUGS*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh gawd yes! The Nintendo DS sure as hell helped me from getting bored once I started feeling better. I have a huge piñata garden now! X-D

I am working on recovering and taking care of myself, promise. :-) No more experiences like this, thank you very much. :-P

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

holy shit i was wondering wtf you were because it's not like you to not update. i am so relieved that you're okay, my heart was in my throat through this whole entry... i can't believe all that happened and so suddenly; that's a shit ton of medical procedures.

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY. I would be wholly devastated if anything happened to you... i am certainly not glad this happened but i'm certainly glad it worked out and now your insides are better, and im really glad you can eat. will this resolve your terrible cramps?

LOVE LOVE LOVE. from me.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

A shit ton, yeah... And none of them very pleasant. :-/ I am not sure about the cramps though... There is no cure for Endometriosis, sadly, so I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life. Of course, I can make the cramps lessen a bit, but thats it. :-P But now when they have taken away a lot of cysts, I hope the cramps will be a bit better at least. We'll see the next time my period hits, I suppose. :-)

I am feeling better, if not 100% yet. But I am working on it. :-) I am feeling stronger each day, so hopefully I'll be recovered soon.

Thanx for caring, Ruchi. :-) Your comments always put a smile on my face. *hugs*

[tekiila.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you are feeling better now, I was a bit Worried. HUGS

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am doing much better. It sure as hell was a scare though. :-P

[moonjaguar.livejournal.com]

Owwwwch, I sympathize but damn, the intestine stuff? Hundred times worse than what I had. Eeek... necrosis waiting to happen. Ow. Ow. Ow. Get better okay? yeah.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

I am working on getting better, I really am. :-) And I am getting stronger by the day, so I'd say it is working. :-) Thanx!

[fantomfox.livejournal.com]

(This is Mr D etc-mun) I was wondering where you went, and I'm so sorry to hear that all that happened to you. It's so good that it sounds like you're doing so much better. Rest and heal and do whatever you need!

/sends gentle hugs ♥ ;;

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

OMG! My Mr D! *huggles* Sorry I haven't gotten back yet. I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things with rpgs at the moment. But I am working on it! I hope you'll be patient with me. I do ADORE the interactions we have between Turner and Mr D, and I DO wanna continue that, I hope you know! I'll just get my shit together... Soon... I hope... :-P

[fantomfox.livejournal.com]

Don't worry a thing about it. Take all the time you need to get healthy and back on your feet. We'll be here when you return ♥

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *hugs back* :-D

[fantomfox.livejournal.com]

Your icon makes me laugh because it makes me think, "There's no LUBE in fanfiction!" Something that's always bothered and fascinated me. XD

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Good point! X-D It is a mystery!

[shapinglight]

Hi. You made this post the day after I went away. That all sounds absolutely horrible and I'm so glad you're making such a good recovery. Look after yourself.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you... :-) I am looking after myself, promise!
