Feel like a Pin Cushion!!!

But at least pin cushions don't bruise!..

Thursday night (9th) I started throwing up really bad and had this pain in my chest.. so I waited it out and finally came to the conclusion that maybe I had just ate something wrong, but I felt so horrible the next morning, I didn't go to work. Friday went by without an incident and I thought I was in the clear but I still felt very strange and weird. Saturday, I decided to go the the new Target with my mother-in-law and hubby and do some other shopping (I really needed a new vacuum, long story!) but.. by the end of just visiting Target and BB&B I was throwing up violently and said I couldn't take anymore and needed to just go home. When we got home, I couldn't quit throwing up, nothing was coming up, it was dry heaves, foamies & phlegm. I decided I just couldn't take it anymore, so dh called doc and described my symptoms and off to the ER we go. I was admitted Saturday night and on Sunday, I had an upper GI. OMG!!! That is the nastiest junk I've ever had to drink and yes, that does include the glucose junk you have to drink for insulin test. YUCK!!! The test revealed that my hole from new stomach into small intestine had closed and the doc dilated it, opening it up. I started to feel better and was released. Monday, I started to feel like crap again, but no need to go to doc, but Tuesday night I had to go to ER AGAIN! Same symptoms, same horrible feelings except this time with nausea. I was treated with nausea medication and IV and sent home. Wednesday, my PCP called and said that she wanted me to come back to the hospital and get some more testing done. *** OK, side note... I had been telling these docs all along that I had a PCP that worked with that hospital and that she should be contacted with any questions and she would be glad to help. Did any of them think to consult with the one person that has been treating me for years??? NO! However, it just so happened that on Wednesday I had a scheduled appointment with the Surgeon for a follow-up and she contacted my PCP with what was going on and they put their heads together and that's how I got re-admitted. ****
I feel way better! The test showed that I had inflammation and that was causing all the rucus! and what a commotion it was!! I had two other test in there involving more icky chalky junk and I would absolutely hate to repeat the test! I was so happy to be released today and I hope I don't have anymore trouble resulting from this surgery.

I have been asked, "Do you regret it?" Well... truthfully, after what I've just been through, had I known, really really known, No, I don't think I would have had the surgery. I don't like pain, I don't like to be sick. However, I've been told many many times that it does get better. All I have to say is .... WE SHALL SEE!!!

and to all you wonderful people sending good thoughts my way... I sincerely appreciate it :)
