For those of you that are keeping up with my nightmare complication track record. The drain was removed on Sunday but the pain is back. I went back to the hospital and they did another oh yes another CT scan this is 4 in 3 weeks and I think soon I will shine in the dark like a star at night...Anyway. The abscess is still there. It is now empty but has not flattened out like they had hoped. It is under my diaphragm and so when I breath I feel like I am short of breath and it is very painful..

I have to wait until my surgeon comes back next Monday and so I am taking pain killers an trying not to breath much.lol

So stay tuned for what is about to happen next....

You know what they say..And this applies to me...If it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all...

Hope everyone is well and doing great today......Someone has to!!!!

So sorry to hear about your problems. You've been doing so great. I haven't been in the forum for a while because I had an accident myself and I didn't see your posts. Holg in there. You will be in my prayers. Heading out to church now anyway i wll light a candle for you.

I forgot to mention I had a major NSV as well at the hospital..

When I went to have the CT done. The nurse handed me this little cotton navy blue nightie to put on. She just handed it to me. It was cotton and there was no stretch. I took it from her and went into the changing room. I opened it up and looked at it and thought that there was no way it would fit me..Then I thought maybe I should just bite the bullet and go out and ask for a larger size.

Then I was so distressed that I thought fine I'll try it on and if it does not fit I will get dressed again and go tell her then. I slipped it on and there was room to spare. It was loose on me. I came out of the room and my hubby had been worried about the same thing that it was too small for me.....

He looked at me and said wow.....I sat down and looked at him and tears ran down my face...I would not have been able to even pull it over my head 18 months ago....I felt really tiny and excited and happy..

Until I went into the room and it took her 5 times to find a vein to hit for the dye....

I am so sorry you have had such a tough road! but so happy for your NSV!! that is such an great feeling (minus the reason for you to have to put it on)!! I will keep you in my prayers!

RJ'S/beginning,

I'm so sorry that you are still going through so many complications! Things have GOT to start getting better for you.

Bravo on your NSV! I'll be traveling to Nevada in June and am hoping my rear end will fit in the airline seat much better this time!

Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way,

Kathleen

Wow, on both accounts! Thanks for keeping us updated. You just gotta know you'll be turning the corner, soon.

Oh RJ...Girlfriend will you ever catch a break?? Wow. I am praying for you. It is high time your body "get's with the program" so you can go about your life enjoying your new "skinny" self!!! A small bathing suit on a beach would be such a better NSV than fitting into a tiny hospital gown, but I applaud you for looking for the bright side! My thoughts and prayers are sending healing ju ju your way...

Praying for your complete healing. Thankful for the example you are with your great attitude in dealing with it all.

A bathing suit on a beach somewhere...ah don't think so...Never felt comfortable in those..Always wore a long Tee Shirt even when I was thin...I don't know hun..when I looked at the hospital gown i had so much fear come up in my stomach you can't imagine..And then when it fit....Holy Cow......I thought I could conquer the world until I went into the room to have the CT....

I'm so sorry....if all your luck is bad luck then I wish you had no luck at all for sure! Here's hoping that the end of this vicious cycle is near.

so hope you can be done with all this s**t very soon!

Praying for you! Way to go on NSV!!

I'm sorry for all of the complications you're having. I hope you feel better soon.
