thats more like it

Surgery went well and my bag was already filling up when I woke up. I just had water and an italian ice last night but this morning I got a regular breakfast. I am still in some pain but I think that is from throwing up so much yesterday and the fact I had two surgerys in less then 48 hours. I should be getting out around noon and they will aslo be pulling my central line before I go.

update

They did close the wrong side and I am going down asap to have it fixed....oi

I knew it couldn't be that easy.

Wednesday morning I woke up feeling great and ate a full breakfast. Unfortantly my bowl had not woke up yet so all that food just sat in there untill after lunch when I threw up. I am still haveing really bad cramping and throwing up everything, even juice. The took me down to do an x-ray with contrast to make sure they didn't close off the wrong end...

surgery

Melissa had her surgery today. It was a long wait. Surgery was suppose to be at 2:30 but two cases ran long and they got behind. She didn't go into surgery until about 6:00. Everything went well. The surgeon was out to talk to us in only about a half hour. They stitched the back side of the stoma closed. He did say that she will probably need major surgery when they get rid of the bag, such as going in and cleaning out her insides(the abscesses). Hopefully she will get to come home tomorrow.

Surgery scheduled

Melissa's surgery is scheduled for Sept 20 at 2:00 pm. They are going to staple the distal side of her stoma closed. This is the least invasive surgery they could do. She will need to be at the hospital earlier because the interventional radiologist is also going to do a drain check earlier that day. It will be a long day.

She is feeling pretty good. She sees the infectious disease people next week. they are the ones prescribing antibiotics.

Amanda has spent a lot of time helping her since she is not suppose to do heavy lifting and it hurts to do much bending. That will come to an end when Amanda leave Sunday. Thank you Amanda.
