nurses After ten months...freedom!

[RJ'S/beginning 5,357]

I can't believe it! Finally after 10 months I was discharged from nurses care. That was a long 10 months let me tell you..Now I am on my own to do what I please with no time limits...What ever will I do..LOL

Seriously though, I was wondering if I was ever going to get better...Feels kinda strange to not be around medical personal.....Hope I can handle it...who am I kidding I can definitely handle the freedom it will give me.

For once I really feel like I am finally on my journey.!!!!!

I had a 5 month stay in hospital due to complications with the sleeve...I went septic, in a coma, lost all my hair, did not eat for 51/2 months, had 10 surgeries and had a trackia. Had to learn to walk again. Talk again, eat again. And even speak again....Got a category 5 ulcer on my ass when I was in the coma and just now it has healed enough for me to no longer need a nurse.....my journey has been a night mare...

but I would do it all again because of how I feel right now...I can stand for hours used to stand for 10 min. and the pain was so bad I would have to sit down. Migraines every day. Had trouble getting up and down stairs..Etc..you know the drill...

I am so much happier with the sleeve..It almost cost me my life but it gave me my life back.....

That is the short version...
