Back in the hospital

[Chad K]

Well my friends, I had a good year or so of relief after having the colostomy bag reversed back in October 2010. Since then it was just minor flare ups until Wednesday at work it got to be too much, way too much pain and now here I lay in a dark room at mission hospital with tubes hanging out of me again and an Ng tube draining my tummy. No food, no water. I can run from crohns but I can't hide. I pray for a cure not just for crohns but for all diseases. Wish me luck. Hopefully there will be no surgery needed again. I will keep you updated.

Oh Chad :-( So sorry to hear this. Thinking of you and hoping that you are back on your feet real soon. X

Hi Chad,

Hope you feel better soon! x

:hug: Hugs to you, Chad. I am so sorry that you are back in jail again--that's what I call the hospital. Hoping that you have lots of family and friends around to help and support you? I hate it when your flares get so bad that you have to be admitted-----although one advantage is you can have much better pain control. Keep your chin up, take it one day at a time, and keep us updated on your Dr.'s plan of action. Try to get some rest if you can, Chad. anda-wave-t: Dana

Hey Chad, I know first hand about being in the hospital but I don't have the problems you are having. It just sucks having to be in the hospital... sending healing thoughts at ya! :bigwave:

Thank you all so much! Waking up again in the hospital is so stressful but getting to read your responses helps me out so much! I don't know what I would do without this forum. Thank you Rachel, Helen and Dana for your support! You're right Dana its funny I call the hospital jail as well. I'm pretty much locked in a room with nowhere to go and I'm handcuffed to both sides of the bed, one with IV s in one qrm and the other side the Ng tube going to my stomach. Then getting these painful tests is just torture. I can't wait to get out of here. I had a bad panic attack yesterday but am doing better right now thanks to all of you. I do have family visiting from time to time so it's nice to have their support. I hate having them see me like this. Thank you all so much again. I will keep you updated.

Awwww, so sorry to hear you're in the hospital with the dreaded, awful ng tube . I've been there plenty of times myself so I know how hard it is. But at least the IV supplies pain meds, right? During my hospitalizations, I see the ng tube as my worst enemy, the Dilaudid as my BFF. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery and then a loooooong interhopitalization interval. Like, decades.

Hi Chad, I just wanted to send my support and lots of (gentle) hugs :hug: I hope they can get things sorted for you soon, keep us updated as and when you can.

 

[Chad K]

Out of hospital now. Thank you.

Hi Chad,

Glad to hear you're back home and resting up

:dance: Really chuffed your home! Has anything been mentioned you about what the plan is treatment wise or do you have to wait for an appt with the GI?

 

[Chad K]

Pretty much the same treatment. Keep taking the Humira and beware of foods that may cause a flare up. The only change now is that I am taking probiotics daily (Align).

Fingers crossed things will settle down for you and stay that way. Although how long have you been on Humira? If it has been a long time perhaps they need to check it's effectiveness considering your recent 'trip'......
