back to hospital!

Last night I was counting the hours till daylight to rush to ER. I couldn't close my eyes for 2 minutes without feeling stabbed. I truly wished I'm dead. So, in the morning I called my doc and told him about my unbearable pain. Plus, I was having a mildly high fever so he urged me to run to the emergency. So I did. And they scanned my belly and analysed my blood. And they discovered I having a small leak on my sleeve!!!!! 2 days ago I was at my doc's and everything appeared excellent. Now I'm back to case1. I'm gonna have to stay hospitalised for 1 week! But the treatement is through iv and antibiotics. No more surgeries according to my doc. I'm soooo down. What shall I do with my kids in the meantime???

I'm glad that you are getting the help that you need and it happened in a timely fashion.. Even better news about not needing another surgery. Just take it a day at a time and don't be timid about asking family and friends help with your children..

I will send up some prayers for you. Keep sipping and walking in the hospital. Feel better soon!

I'm soooo sorry to that you are having to endure this unexpected hurdle that you WILL soon get over. Good luck to you, I'm wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope you have family/friends that can help you out with your kids but I no there nothing like a mothers love. Good luck and best wishes elpaso73 :)

Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear you have a leak! But I'm so glad you are getting medical attention! And that's good news that you won't need surgery to fix it. I agree with Laura, don't be shy about asking for help with your kids. I also agree, take it one day at a time, you will get thru this! Sending a prayer your way! :)

OH NO!!!! :angry:

i'm so very sorry. :(

staying in the hospital for a week :(

iv, antibiotics - if doing this, and you will be fine - worth the inconvenience of the hospital stay

hopefully no more side effects/problems

being down, depressed now - i can only imagine how you must be feeling

wish i could take the kids for you (seriously) and put your mind at ease

hopefully you have family - mom, siblings, friend that will come to your rescue????

i'm sure someone can understand the severity of your situation - and help out

even if people alternate - couple of days mom comes over, then one friend, later someone else

you should/must have help once you get home

you will be recuperating - and you need your rest - and some help too maybe

good luck hun

take care

I'm so sorry your going thru this! Like Laura said...you gotta ask for help! Hopefully soon this will all be a bad memory! Sending (((Hugs))) & prayers!

So sorry to hear that i will keep you in prayer...
