Today's the day!!!!

I am in the waiting room at Emory Hospital-Atlanta. I am so hungry! Will be in the best sleep ever in a little while. I'm anxious about this. I have had mult abdominal surgeries and was never really nervous. I had an illness a yr. ago and was in the hospital. I was coded because I went into renal & respiratory failure. That worries me now, but more than anything, my oldest daughter is pregnant with our first grand baby, a boy. That has been the center of my thoughts for the last few months. Will check in afterwards. Good luck and prayers for me, please!

Carol

I had my surgery Tues 2/21. Went home late Friday night. Back in under urgent admit Saturday. Congestive heart failure with pneumonitis! I began hallucinating couldn't catch my breath and in unbearable pain because I was unable to take pill or liquid meds and unable to keep an ice chip down. Mon. 27. I want to feel good again. I know this was an informed decision. I have worked in health field for my entire life. Not sure what I could have done differently. I probably won't post again for a while.

Ugh...I feel for you. I spent a few days in ICU due to some complications from surgery. Despite the bumpy start things have steadily improved. Hope it does the same for you! Best wishes on a speedy recovery.
