Well here I go again

[Guest guest]

I saw my docs on wednesday. The plastics guy pulled the drains

(yeah) said that I looked like Iwas loosing weight and then told me

to come back in 4 weeks, thats it. I then went back to see the same

GI surgeon I have had all along. He didn;t like the way I looked, I

could tell by how he looked at me even tho he wouldn't say it. I

felt really lousy he said that everything looked good as far as my

incision and what not but when I told him my sugars were too high he

wondered why.

Well today I talked with him because my morning fasting blood surgar

was 288. Now it has been 7 months since I had the tp-ict and my

sugars have been great until this last surgery the emergency one.

Anyway he wants me to come in tomorrow for some blood work and

another cat scan. I told him the last time he scanned me I ended up

in the OR...LOL But I am really scared that my transplanted islets

may have been damaged and that has me extrememly upset. I have been

eating very little so as to not make them go up too much and have

been taking a lot of insulin. Which I did neither before this last

surgery. He said that he is concerned there might be an infection

somewhere. I told him I dont have a fever and dont really feel that

poorly to have an infection. Well anyway back to MUSC tomorrow for

tests, here I go again. Hopefully it will be just stress and nothing

more.

Hey Angie, I might have to followup with on wed. What time is

your appt, maybe we can meet afterrall.

I haven't been feeling well and haven't been posting much but I do

hope that everybody is doing well. Laurie what the heck are ya'll

gonna do with a buffalo anyway???LOL

Warmly,

,

My appt. is at 1:30. I called them today because I had a bad attack

yesterday and they said to call them if it happened again and they may want to

see me

on Monday. They said to go to the ER if it happened again and get some

dilaudid shots and not try to deal with it alone with oxycodone. I told her I

would

rather be shot in the head than go to the ER but I would do it if I had to. She

also said to call if I ran out of pain meds. I didn't want them to think I

was abusing my pain meds and running out that I had a legit reason for using

more than normal. She said not to worry.

Anyway, I hope your tests go well. I know you have been through alot. Your

body is going to take a while to recover from all you have been through in such

a short time. My prayers and thoughts are with you!
