I talked to my surgeon this afternoon. He wants to pump some dye into me to see if there are any leaks in his new creation, and if not, he will schedule my take down surgery for next week. I'm apprehensive, but what the hell. ;)
The dye job will be either Wednesday or Thursday. I can see the reasoning behind it. I'm just a bit gun-shy.
On the good news side, I'm hydrating right up.... I talk normally, instead of that weird voice I took on when I was so dehydrated. I feel like I have a bit of the old me back. I just wish the nausea or acid stomach would go away. The doctor thinks it's because I'm grossed out by my oscomy bag. What an idiot. (oops... fill that in with something more politically correct. I just can't in my current mindset.)

Dear Jennie, What a bumpy, bumpy road and I am so sorry it has been like this. Thinking of you many times every day and wishing I had a magic wand. Thanks for the major education re all these new medical terms and slang, and hope it all starts getting better IMMEDIATELY. Mary Cleary
ReplyDeleteBless your heart! And ditto Mary's comment about educating us all. We'll be buying you a giant jar of jalapenos before you know it! You're in our thoughts...
ReplyDeleteHang in there Jengirl. Guess I wasn't so far off when I thought of this procedure. May as well get it over with. There are many other things to make your life meaningful besides food, believe me. Will talk to you soon ~
