Well, I'm back in the hospital again. I came in last night around 7:00. I'd lost 16 pounds since I left the hospital Thursday a week ago, but 10 of those pounds were the fluids they had pumped into me during my stay. Not good. In fact, the not goods, keep mounting. This morning the resident on duty told me they are thinking about doing the take down operation while I'm here in the hospital this time. For those of you scratching your heads, the take down refers to the removal of my ilioscomy bag and the reconnection of my intestine to my new anus. Now I know a lot of you have been lobbying for that, but I have great trepidation when it comes to the next phase. Could that be because I've read a lot of studies from other hospitals siting quality of life issues after the take down operation... Duh!!!
Whatever.
My phone number at the hospital is 966-3514. I stopped using my cell phone because I got a bill for $250 for the month of January.
For right now, I'm not a happy camper, but I'm still aware how very lucky I am so the happiness quotient will rise again as soon as I quit whining.
Hugs,
Jennie
