Re: Home for now

[Guest guest]

Hil...glad you got to come home for a day or two!! Sorry you are having to

go through this, but grateful for your daughters!! They are awesome!! I can

relate to needing to take care of your internet biz...customers just

don't/won't understand. You can't tell them everything that's going on in your

personal life. But do take it easy and don't stress yourself too much over

that

right now.

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

What terrible news after a lousy five days. I wish there were

something that could be done to get you colon back to normal. Those

kinds of days in the hospital can sap your energy and your positive

spirit. Don't let it get you down. There is the possibility that

it's not cancer, but just scar tissue. At least that's something

positive to think about.

Best wishes;

> Well I got home last night about 7 PM from my little procedure on

Tuesday:) I was going to rest a short time and read the email but

seems I woke at 5 this morning. As you know a hospital is no place

to get any sleep. Just losing one day I can't seem to get my mind

together. I am a little sore and tender which I expected. Otherwise

I am just a nervous wreck and scared. Do I have cancer again? I

don't know!

> Tuesday was just a in and out thing but I ended up staying until 7

last night. Next time I will pack a bag and be prepared. First off

was going in to try to do a balloon stretch on my striture and then

put a ultrasound up there to see if could get a biopsy of mass that

is showing. That was day 5 of liquids and half doses of MOM trying

to clean out. Now I think they finally see why I can't take a

laxative. The striture is so tiny they say it is a miracle I can

even go to the bathroom. To tight to stretch but found out to late

before putting the gas in my colon to see up there. Normally the gas

would come out but of course mine could not so I looked and felt

like a balloon. Rushed to x ray few times to be sure they had not

perforated the colon and had to stay so they were sure with those

tubes I hate trying to let the gas out. Then yesterday would not let

me leave until surgeon talked to me. He did not get there until 6

PM. That was day 6 on liquid but then said I had to eat meal before

I could leave and they had not ordered my supper so got the

daughters to go to cafateria and get me a sandwich so I could eat

and come home:) There plan was I for me to just stay for surgery but

surgeon agreed I could come home and get a couple things done first.

One Dr had even said he would bring a computer up for me to use:)

They have to think I am a nut case but got to take care of my Ebay

and internet business as people just don't understand when they

order and don't get it.

> Did see gastro, oncologist and surgeon so was not wasted trip. One

told daughters sure it was cancer. Oncologist said after talking to

gastro and surgeon by the shape of the mass they are not sure if

scar tissue or cancer but has to come out before it gets in my bone

and have no choice but to do something to open striture up or may

close completely at any time. I take it from what the surgeon said

it will just be another resect and start over again. I see him next

Wed and we will start my cleaning out proceess for surgery as they

really believe me now that I can't handle a laxative and why. I just

figured after a balloon stretch I would eventually get back to

normal bathroom again but surgeon informed me taking more out which

he will have to do is going to leave me in same situation of just

being able to go little at time so guess rest of my life will be

living clost to bathroom. Yes the girls said they would buy me

a kitty litter box:) I also assume ever eating a salad again is out.

LOLOL, have them be sure and pick out a pretty color!!

I'm really believing that this is going to be the answer to you getting your

life back. I'm not even thinking cancer as I know what adhesions can do!! And I

bet that's what it is.

Salads? So strange. I lived on and loved salads for many many years. And yes,

there was a certain amount of time I went through " withdrawal " !haha. But I can

honestly say that now I don't even really want one. And I have even tried eating

a few bites of it from time to time....and it didn't bother me. I could have

gone ahead and eaten the whole thing without much of a problem, I think. But it

just didn't taste good. And it was a beautiful salad, nothing wrong with

it....my tastes have changed for sure.

Love that doctor telling you he would bring down a computer for you to use. What

a guy!!!

Hil, Sounds like they put you through an ordeal. And of course your

stay was basically to prove to the doctors what you knew all along.

That is dumb on their part.

I can relate to the problem of letting the gas come back out. Must

of been very painful for you. And more then likely still causing you

discomfort.

I am so sorry you are going to have to go through surgery again.

But maybe then they can get things somewhat back to normal for you.

You never know they just might!!!! So do not give up hope. It might

happen.

It is better then that if it is cancer they remove it. And if it is

scar tissue that gets removed too since it can cause more problems

down the road. It happened to me!!!

The surgery can only help. I am so sorry you have to have it. I

feel for you.

I am sending up extra Prayers for you!!!! Please try to focuss on

the good of this. I know you are worried and scared it might be

cancer. But if it is they can get it out!!!

Just keep us posted on how you are feeling. Best to YOU!!!! Ingrid
