Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Good Evening All, I will make this as brief as possible. I went into the hospital last Tuesday and got out today. I was on 100mg demerol every 3 hours...problem was the demerol only lasted about 1 1/2 hours. I received another celiac block today which is already showing signs that it isn't going to hold. No tapering off of the demerol either. I was discharged on percocet 7.5 every 6 hours. That wasn't working before what makes the Dr. think it will now? I had to beg for IV fluids to keep hydrated...finally after 3 days of begging I got a saline drip. No vitamins etc. I don't understand the Dr.'s philosophy...my regular GI saw me once & he went on vacation. His other partners acted as though they didn't want to treat me or that I didn't need good treatment at this stage because I am scheduled to have surgery on Oct 7th in MN. I've lost 14 pounds..I'm 5'9 " and weigh 111 now. I probably have an intestinal blockage as I haven't gone since last Tuesday. I'm depressed, worried and my mother isn't helping matters much. She keeps reminding me of things that need to get done which there are only 4 things that are crucial for our trip. I've asked her not to put increased stress on me and she swears she's not...she's just verbalizing her thoughts ...I'm at wits end right now. Please remember me in your prayers....at the rate I'm going I might not make it to MN. Thanks N'Awlins Gal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
