I Know I Have Read On Here Many Times... But I Need Assurance :'(

Third night in the hospital, and things are slowly getting better. I can finally hold down water! Yay! But is hurts like a m&*%$# f$!* ... pardon my french.

My surgeon has ordered some test to check for blockage, to be done in the morning... I guess I just need assurance that this DOES get better. I want to go home! I am thankful that they are being precautious... I just miss my kiddos, and my bed!

Thank you all for your help. I am not sure what I would do without this forum. xoxo.

Sorry you are still in the hospital, but it is good they are taking precautions and making sure you can get fluids in and stay hydrated. It does get better every single day. I am hoping you hear good news on going home soon sweetie, hang in there!! Sending you healing vibes!!

:)

Sorry you are having such a hard time but best not to take any chances. At least there if anything goes wrong they should catch right away. Just try to take it one day at a time it will get better. I wish you all the best and hope you get to go home soon. I know how it is wanting to sleep in your on bed. :rolleyes:

Try to be patient, it will get better. Oh and sorry to be the bearer of bad news but... I didnt sleep in my wonderfull bed for a month! (Too painfull) I had to sleep on my recliner. :wacko:

Hope you feel better soon!! Good Luck!! :D

Oh, Sabrina! I'm so sorry you're having a rough time! Hopefully, the tests will all be good and you can go home today, but I'm also glad that your doc is being cautious and careful! I'll give you good news about the bed, though. I slept in mine the first night I was home from the hospital, or the second night after surgery. I also didn't take any pain meds after the first day in the hospital, but I have a pretty high tolerance for pain. Hopefully, once they rule out any problems, you'll be heading home and be able to relax and rest. Hospitals are no place to actually get any rest!

Oh no, I have been thinking about you all week!

I am glad to hear Dr Mueller is taking precautions with you! I finally finished my 6 month diet. Now I play the waiting game to get the referral and tests, hopefully I will get my surgery in April! I hope your feeling better soon, and get to go home!

I had my surgery Monday and I didn't get to go home until today (Thursday). Most of my surgeon's patients leave on Wednesdays (he always does the surgery on a Monday) but I couldn't keep anything down either. I stayed an extra day, got the hydration I needed, and came home today feeling a lot more confident that I could do this. Although, it's 7:30pm and I am ready to climb into bed; I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
