Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hello again! I am finally home again. I left and had my surgery in Mexico on July 6, and was immediately taken for surgery. I had it around 3:30 that afternoon. I stayed in the hospital for 10 days, I had immediate complications and had to be re-operated on to repair it. I am not sure what happened except my tube was placed wrong and I was screaming in pain. Thank God they put me out and repositioned it and re checked all of my incisions and cuts and tubes and everything. The hospital was beautiful and the staff simply doted on me! They gave the best of care, always came quickly if needed, never left me without anything I needed. I ended up in Mexico for 3 weeks instead of 1, and had daily nurse visits and regularly the doctor would stop in to check on me. I was told to expect 3 months of feeling weak, and after that I will gradually get stronger, and I have been pretty weak. I had to have wheelchairs the whole way home.. I am so happy to be home... Just my update, oh, and I am down 42 pounds already! 2 days until my 1 month anniversary of surgery. OK, naptime.. Staci 7-6-04 surgery in mexico The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love. -- Gumbel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Staci, I'm sooooo sorry that you had complications like that. I have been looking for you to give us an update. Couldn't remember your name, just remembered Mexico. Congrats on the weightloss, now it's just time for you rest. If you need anything at all just shoot it out to the board . Best wishes.
