THOUGHT I HAD BETTER PUT THIS IN HERE SINCE IN SOME ASPECTS EVERYTHING HAS GONE FINE WITH ME SO FAR BUT STAYING IN THE HOSPITAL SO MUCH AND BEING SHUT OFF FROM MY FRIENDS ( MY ANGELS ) AND EVEN THOUGH MY FAMILY CAME EACH DAY TO SEE ME WHEN THEY LEFT I FELT ALONE AND HELPLESS AND NATURALLY THOUGHT OF ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN OR COULD GO WRONG. BUT I AM FINE NOW AND ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT NORMAL IS . SO HERE IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH LATELY
GOOD AFTERNOON MY DEAR FRIENDS . I THOUGHT I HAD BETTER POST WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME NOW SINCE MY LAST TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL LAST WEEK. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE GOING TO SEE YOUR DOC FOR A ROUTINE CHECK UP ON YOUR LAST SURGERY JUST TO FIND OUT THAT YOUR SHORT OF BREATHE AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOUR DOC IS SENDING YOU ACROSS THE STREET STAT TO HAVE TESTS DONE BECAUSE HE THINKS YOUR THROWING BLOOD CLOTS AND THEY ARE IN YOUR LUNG. MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS WITH ME RUSHED ME ACROSS THE STREET WE REG AND THEY TAKE ME BACK TO THE XRAY ROOM . THEY CALL MY NAME BUT FIND OUT THEY CANT DO THE CAT SCAN HE ORDERED SINCE I AM ALLERGIC TO THE DYE THEY USE SO THEY HAVE TO CALL IN SOMEONE TO USE NUCLEAR DYE ON ME AND THEN TAKE CHEST XRAYS OF ME. I AM TOLD TO GO AND WAIT AND THIS WE DO AND THEN THEY CALL ME AND TELL ME I CANT GO HOME AND I AM BEING ADMITTING . AFTER A 2 HR WAIT THEY FIND ME A ROOM AND UP I GO. THEY START GIVING ME A SHOT IN MY BELLY ( A BLOOD THINNER)WHICH LEFT MY BELLY BLACK AND BLUE , AND TRY AND START IV'S GOING AND THE MEDS TO GET ME READY FOR THE CAT SCAN. THE NEXT MORNING I GET ANOTHER SHOT IN THE BELLY AND THEN OFF TO THE XRAY DEPT FOR CAT SCAN. ALL IN ALL WHEN ALL THE TEST ARE DONE MY DOC CALLS IN A LUNG SPECIALIST AND HE TELLS ME NO BLOOD CLOTS WHICH I AM THANKFUL FOR BUT THAT I HAVE A 3/4 COLLASPED RIGHT LUNG AND I HAVE PNEUMONIA TO BOOT . SINCE I HAVE SMALL VEINS THEY HAD TO PUT IN A CENTRAL LINE THAT RAN FROM MY LEFT ARM UP TO MY SHOULDER AND ACROSS MY CHEST AND DOWN TO MY HEART AND THROUGH THIS THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE ME MY MEDS AND DRAW BLOOD .THEY TAKE ME DOWN TO SURGERY AND GIVE ME A LOCAL TO NUMB MY BACK , FLIP ME ON MY BELLY AND THE DOC PROCEEDS TO CUT INTO MY BACK TO INSERT A TUBE AND HE DRAINS OFF OVER A LITER OF FLUIDS FROM MY RIGHT LUNG AND HE HAS TO LEAVE THE TUBE IN THERE FOR SEVREAL DAYS SO IT WILL DRAIN. NOW I HAVE 3 HOLES IN MY BACK LOL, BUT I AM FEELING BETTER AFTER HE DOES THIS BUT MY BACK IS SORE AS HOCKEY STICKS .ON THIS PAST MONDAY HE COMES IN AND TAKES THE TUBE OUT AND LEAVES MY BACK IN BANDAGES . MY KIDNEY DOC COMES TO SEE ME AND TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME VERY SMALL STONES IN THE TUBE FROM MY KIDNEYS TO MY BLADDER AND THAT IN ABOUT 4 WEEKS HE WANTS TO GO BACK IN AND GET THEM BEFORE THEY GROW TO THE SIZE OF THE OTHERS . FINALLY I GET TO GO HOME TUESDAY NIGHT AND ITS GOOD TO BE BACK IN MY OWN BED, MY OWN PLACE AND OF COURSE ON MY COMPUTER TALKING TO MY SPECIAL ANGELS HERE .
RIGHT NOW I AM JUST TAKING IT EASY AND ENJOYING BEING AT HOME BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GO BACK FOR THE OTHER SURGERY AGAIN .
MY SAYING IS LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST (WHICH I TRY AND DO ) LOVE BE HAPPY, ENJOY YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS , AND JUST PLAIN HAVE FUN
THATS IT FOR NOW FROM SASSY
