I am having a pity party.. bring your own drinks...



Recommended Posts

I went into hospital today, one of my plastics scars is infected so I am on antibiotics and have to go back in the morning. They wanted me to stay in but I persuaded them that I would be better at home. Got home to find a message from my friend on the house phone to let me know my beautiful Black Lab Jasper, who was being walked by my friend whilst I was at hospital, collapsed during the walk and was at the vets. I went up (in my nightdress) and lay on the floor with him. He was in a dreadful state. I sobbed, half for him and half for the pain I was in. Two of the vets had to help me get up from the floor. Husband arrived and after 30 minutes I headed to go home for pain relief and to lay down. Jasper had calmed down a little since I arrived and my husband said he would phone as soon as he knew anything.

I got home and went straight to the larder and got out a block of chocolate and ate the lot. I mean FFS. I haven't done that emotional eating since surgery. Of course I then threw up like the exorcist, trying to hold onto my painful scar, then husband called. Long story short, Jaspers staying overnight at the vets (£500 min) then will be going to a Vet Nuro Hospital in the morning. I feel stupid having the chocolate and I need a good slapping (from myself, I don't advocate violenceagainst another).

I am sat on my riser recliner, watching TV and giving myself a good talking to.

Pillock.

So sorry to hear about your dog Jasper, Kate. I wish you the best and that Jasper feels better soon.

No worries on your chocolate indulgence... you have already paid for that. I am sure I will be tempted down the road and do something very similar.

Hugs

I hope your pity party is over, but like @mylighthouse said, you already paid for your chocolate indulgence. I too, hope Jasper will be better soon. And you too @_Kate_! Ya'll both get to feeling better, you hear?

We all have weak moments, it's better to just pick yourself up and learn from it instead of beating yourself up for it. You've already paid the price by getting sick. I hope everything with Jasper works out. <3

Sometimes a pity party is in order. Sorry about the pup - they are great. Wound stuff seems to go with plastics. Take care of yourself. Agree hospitals are full of germs. Did they put on IV infection?

Im on a lot of pain killers and Morphine so I am very happy right now lol. Goodness knows what happened with the scar. The hospital was spotless (and so is my home) Its skin necrosis and I believe its common at T junction scars. Im not a smoker, just unlucky!

I had a spot on my right bum At the T on my right breast Then any spot I saw for 3 days was it with ointment. I measured each. OZD? We both hit our bodies with multiple surgeries. From what read wound separation is common. I was not prepared and had a Freak out party! This is what my PS would not do my inner thigh in the bundle. Let us know how your follow up went Kate.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
