Just finished another 4 day stay at the hospital. The abscess refilled itself, only this time it was a lot faster then the last time. They put another drain in it and they want me to keep it in for 3-4 weeks more and hopefully that will solve the problem because it should collapse the abscess.

It is in a place that is very painful, under my Diaphragm. 3 weeks I go and get it removed and then I have to have a scope to see if there are any loose staples and if there are then they have to be removed....

I no longer fear the hospital. That has all but disappeared.....Here's to hoping time heals all wounds!

Prayers said for youa fast healing and no more pain or complications.

Every day is the same...I wake up in pain and wait for the nurse to come and flush out my drain. It hurts a lot and so I buckle down when she comes and get it over with. My stomach hurts so I am eating very little...That is a problem right now for me as I am almost to goal.

I hope that this will be over when all the rest is done because I will be then looking forward to plastics and maybe after that some freedom....I have been asked to speak at a seminar next month and have said I would. Looking forward to that...A lot!

I am still here just in a lot of pain....Thanks you for keeping up with this old girl...

Yuck...I'm so sorry that you are still struggling. Thinking of you!

Oh missus, sending a big hug from Scotland - but I won't squeeze too hard

Despite it all, you are still heading towards goal - 200lbs down having gone through what you have is almost unbelievable. You are one tough woman!

Hang in there, this too will pass xx

Take care of yourself well. You are important to so many of us here!

Wish you well soon

Oh RJ - you poor thing! I'm SO sorry you're going through this and living with such untimely pain. I'd love to have thought it over after surgery, but I agree about how good it is you have such a positive attitude. It makes a huge difference in healing I believe, and I'll keep you in my prayers in the days to come. Rest well and know that you make such a difference to so many MANY of us here. You've been a huge inspiration and truth teller for me, mostly with you not even knowing it - I love reading your posts. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your story and your hurt now - I"m sure we'd all happily take a bit of it away from you if we could!
