...and waiting...

Called home health today. The wound vac company is still waiting for some information from the doctor. The nurse is going to call and bug them tomorrow for me. Mom and Amanda are going to go have lunch with my grandma tomorrow and i would like to go but i will probably have to stay here and wait for them to get their act together..... I almost wish i didn't like my doctor because his staff has a hard time getting everything done...

still waiting

Merry Christmas to anyone who reads this

we are still waiting for the wound vac to show up. If i don't hear anything by noon i will start calling people again. Beyond that there isn't much to report about my health so will just tell the world about my Christmas.

Drew told his parents Friday i wasn't feeling very good so they decided to bring part of the lunch to us so Saturday night we went to church and then my sis and i did a few things to make today a little easier. Today we got up early and did stockings. Santa forgot about me so he just collected random things and put them in. I can't complain too much, i think i got more stuff then anyone else. Drew gave me a popcorn popper and a gift card so i can finally go get curtains for the living room and from my sisparents i got a new pan set and comforter among other things. After gifts and breakfast with the parents we had church then lunch with both sides of the family. Drew parents gave us some random but awesome stuff. Lets just say we are stocked up on wii games for awhile. The rest of the day has been spent hanging out playing games and doing a little baking and a lot of eating. It has been nice to feel good when i didn't think i would....it has been the best first Christmas being married to drew!

We are still waiting on everyone to get the correct information. I think home health has everything they need but the company who supplies the wound vac is still missing something. We are hopeing all is in place by tomorrow but the said they would come out Sunday if needed....merry Christmas!

Things went really well. He was able to get the plug out. There is a small chance he cut some of my intestine but all is good so far. I was left with a hole a little larger than a quarter and about an inch deep. Home health is going to come out and put a wound vac on it tomorrow. It will put a little suction on it and help it heal a little faster as well as keep it cleaner. The pain hasn't been bad at all. I took some pain med before i went to bed last night but i don't feel much different then when i got a drain check.

Surgery set for the 21st. I will go home that night and all they are doing is taking the piece of plug out.

Saw the radiologist already and we are killing time before we have to go see the surgeon. It is looking like the hole in my intestine is closed and the drainage i am getting is from the remnants of the plug causing an infection. The only way to get that out is to operate so we will see what safar wants to do.

Still feeling good. I go see the radiologist and surgeon next Wednesday. There is a chance we may try the plug again but it probably be after the first the year.
