spent quality time in the hospital dec 2013, feb 2014.

i had a contained leak found three months after surgery.  no real symptoms.  was found during a upper GI scan.  foolishly i let the doctors do an endoscopic glue procedure to fix it and was put on a tube feed for six weeks, i pulled the tube four weeks later and ended up back in the hospital.  they perforated my leak and i basically was worse off than before the procedure.  spent most of february in the hospital.  ended up with the tube feed implanted in my abdomen (from jan 30 to the end of may) got a brand new tummy scar as they went inside to try to clean the abcesses i had developed during the two weeks after i pulled my tube (i only drank liquid nutrition but still got into trouble).  i suffered with a stent for a month, then the doctor went back in and used clips.  in the beginning of may i went back for an upper GI and was given the all clear as the leak was healed.
