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!

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.
