From BRIDGET: I'm Back

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

After a very long struggle, I'm back.

) Not 100% or even 50% but back

nonetheless.

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped me

pull through this ordeal--your

thoughts and prayers helped me every

step of the way.

I'm still in a bad place right now-

severe nausea (compazine easing it a

little), vomiting, diarrhea and hearburn

(just switched to Prevacid cuz Pepcid

wasn't helping). I'm still on high doses

of oral antibiotics to ensure the

peritonitis is resolved. All food

tastes so horrible to me that I can't

eat more than 3 bites without gagging.

I've come home with my feeding tube

in the left side of my abdomen, my

Pratt drain sutured into the

right side of my abdomen still draining

this foul peritonitis infection out of

my body and I also have an incision

that I need to pack because it also got

infected.

If there's anyone out there who's also

gone this route, I would be so grateful

to hear from you. I need all the help I

can get right now just to get through

each hour in the day. Either email me

privately or put my name in large

letters in the subject line. I don't have

the energy to check the list every day,

but will log on when I can.

I wish this could've been a more

positive letter, but I'm just not there

yet. I'm at the lowest point in my life

and not seeing any light at the end of

the tunnel.... hope you all understand.

Love to All!

Bridget
