Back in the Hospital....again
So I'm back in the hospital again, have been here since Wednesday. What prompted this stay....well the majority of my family saw me the past Saturday and were horrified by how much weight of lost. So I came in to find out what could be done. Wednesday they kept me on NPO (no liquids and no food by mouth) thinking I may have a procedure done on Thursday; they decided about 8pm that nothing would happen on Thursday. Thursday involved me being visited by just about all the teams in the hospital. The surgical team from my stomach removal, social services, pysch, physical therapy, the dietitian. Everyone is pretty much in agreement that I need some assistance with my nutrition. Supposed to get tube inserted today by radiology and they kept me NPO all day to only find out at 4:30 that they changed their mind. Apparently they are not comfortable placing the tube so now it is going to require a little surgery to have one put in. Cause you know a girl cannot have to many scars on her abdomen. Plan is for them to place the feeding tube on Monday - oh joy - better not have to have an NG tube. So I'll be here for at least a few days afterwards. I've only been here 3 days and I'm already going out of my mind. I have access to FB so feel free to email /post to me, I'm sure it will help pass the time. Thanks Everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend! - Love Barbara
