Back In The Hospital

I was admitted again last night- for pain and severe dehydration :(.

I want to love my sleeve. I want to work this wonderful tool- but I've been through 2 weeks of hell on earth and I'm trying desperately not to regret making such a selfish choice.

    i bedhead, no one deserves to go through any bad health situations. Don't worry about "loving your sleeve", that will happen eventually. We all are just thinking of you loving to get back to your good health.

    my best wishes again being sent from b'ville

    I'm glad the hospital is doing the right thing and bringing in a specialist for you! That's very good! I know it stinks in the meantime, but getting the right care from the start is going to help you to overcome this obstacle. Praying your recovery will be quick!

    He's been 100% involved in everything from the very beginning and been seeing me in the hospital regularly since I was admitted- and is in charge of my care. However, surgeons are not GI specialists nor do they specialize in endoscopy/ so he had a specialist brought in to review my case.

    The specialist found a TON of erosion despite me taking 20mg of Prilosec at home and protonix in the hospital. Now I'm on this god awful pink medicine (sucralfate or something like that) which adheres to the eroded places and essentially creates a barrier between my stomach and acid so that I can heal. We're trying this for a few days while I'm still here and hopefully it will get under control

    I'm guessing that the erosion was caused by the infection :(
