possible operation number 10

Just found out from my nurse that I may have to have surgery again to repair the opening from my ulcer I got while in the hospital...Instead of healing correctly it is closing in on the surface and leaving a pocket underneath which will cause abscesses....grrrrr

Will the grief ever end!!!

    I was in the hospital for 5 months due to complications with my sleeve surgery...they had to put me in a coma. I was in it for 19 days..When I woke up I had a category 5 bed sore....which is the worst you can get!
