Slow recovery

I had the illeoscomy bag removed on Monday and am now hooked up to go the old fashion way. That's the good news. The bad news is nothing is going the old fashion way. Each day I remain hopeful that the plumbing will all start working again. I haven't eaten, or had anything to drink since Sunday. I'm thinking groundhog day, the movie. Heck, I'm living it.

I had a fever yesterday, but that's gone. I'm just trying to do what I can to get to the next phase. I'll let y'all know when I get there. In the mean time, Perry and Margaret have been spending nights with me and I have been trying to keep phone calls at a minimum.... too dehydrated.

I look forward to returning home. I've heard reports that I have flowers blooming in my yard. I can't wait to see them for myself!

Hugs,

Jennie

  1. Jennie, I am pushing for you (smile)and realize the trauma of a major operation starts again. Will they give you Ensure to provide nutrients? I hope so. Meanwhile, hang in there and feel the love, Genie

  7. Hi Jennie, I'm hoping that you are much improved by today (Friday) and that your pipes/plumbing are working as they should. I'm still praying for you every day. Feel the Love ;-) Renae
