Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Lorie I hope feels better I know what hes going through. I couldnt eat ot stop throwing up bile for 3 months. They are still perplexed as to what is wrong with me. I had IV TPN for a while no problems approximately 3 weeks. They had to put in a new line every day though. An Anesthetist did this as I was hard to get lines in. Then They did a lapratomy to open me up and see what was wrong. They inserted the J tube in then. They put through stuff called jevity funnily enough there are different flavours but you cant taste it.I was in hospital 2 more weeks and when I could stand up for a minute or two I decided I was leaving. I took the trolley that the food comess through home and changed them myself. The down side is that they are hooked up for 16 18 hours a day in order to get 2000 calories. I had the tube in long after I tried eating. I have a mark on the left side where it used to be just under my ribs. I still have terrible pain whenever I eat and take morphine for it everyday.I tried tramadol but was taking 24 a day and it didnt help. Ultram I think you call it. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Dear Lori, Happy (early) Birthday, my friend! After the week you have had, you deserve the perm & haircut! I'm glad to hear you are taking time out for yourself. My twins birthdays are the 20th. They will be 11 already. I can't believe it! I hope Mike will be home & feeling better by his birthday. I know how hard it is. Actually, I missed the twins 1st & 3rd birthdays because I was in the hospital. I still feel guilty about it, but they don't even remember! Please, tell Mike I'm praying for him. Thanks. Lots of Hugs, ______________________________________________________________________ > Tomorrow I am getting a perm and haircut for my birthday. My birthday is Feb 19. I know this is whiny, but it's such a bummer with our first Valentine's day and my birthday coming and Mike being sick. His birthday is March 12 and maybe by then we can really celebrate> Lori Karns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 Hi Lori, I am glad you are having your hair done and such. Those little things can be important when you are dealing with such mental stress. Btw, my mother's birthday was February 19. We just lost her at Christmastime this year so this is the very first holiday without her. I am sure it won't be easy. But you have a great birthday and know we are all thinking about you and caring what happens. March 12 will be a perfect day to celebrate. We will pray that Mike is home and better by then. Take care of yourself Lorrie and keep in touch. We care about you as much as we do Mike! :-) You are a treasure! Be well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
