Oh wow! Glad you are on the mend! Has the sickness stopped now that the gallbladder is out?

Yes! The day of surgery I immediately felt 100% better! NO more nausea or vomiting or anything.

Well 🐭🐯it's me again. Had my endoscopy yesterday, Dr Noria let her senior resident Noah J Stinson do it. He stated the swell8ng in my pouch was down enough to dialate my opening, his belief is that two more dilatations and I will be close to all better. I don't know if I believe him. Came home , made a 1/3 cup of very runny mashed potatoes, started back up 27 minutes later and spent an hour puking and slime spitting. At 9 pm I finally kept down a small serving of boughten individual 90 cal- less than 10 carb. diet tapioca pudding, woke up this morning to right subcostal Pain just like before, sitting here trying to keep the Carafate down. If I succeed make myself a skim milk strawberry Protein Shake and sip all day. Do,i desire it? Heck no, think he made my jejunal ulcers ache and throb, Dr Noria said that was what that pain I first attributed to liver problems is. Frankly I would have preferred her, not a bait and switch where I got a stand-up. When I wasn't puking I fell back asleep sitting up, made my son peeved, but still slept more in bed in between bathroom runs. When you have 3 liters of Fluid being infused you don't sleep too well any,more. I'm sitting here with the verdompt nausea he left me with. And the plan now, if it is the truth, 2 more months of this TPN. Really don't want anything oral, oh I will manage to get my meds down , but good? Forget about it, if it is only going to come barreling back up, its to my best interest to just let the TPN sustain me. He did ask how much p.o. fluid I took in Thursday, just under 64 oz. of propel, Water, and Nestle Splash. I just aren't going to set the world🌏on fire, am I?

And if you have heard about the Fentanyl deaths at Mount Carmel in Columbus, I almost crawled off the endoscopy table , what did he sedate me with? Benadryl with a skosh of Fentanyl in it . My last thought as I zoned out " I hope Dr Noah Switzer😷 isn't buddies with that Mount Carmel dude!" and then I was in LaLaLand, good news, I survived after alll!😝
