Oh good lord!!! Hoping its tomorrow for you now and not pushed back again :(

BIG BIG SADIE BEAR HUGS TO YOU SHAZZ!
 
Hi Shazz
Just remember tomorrow is only a day away!
Feeling badly for you.
Ususally the docs like to wait until an acute gallbladder attack is over, so among other reasons this could be a prime one.
This happened to me and I was glad when the time came to get it over and done with.
Feel better soon
Hugs and best wishes

Well. Unfortunately the only thing I can say now is..... :sign0085: Hopefully tomorrow we'll be doctor buddies. Sure hope tomorrow when I'm seeing my new one, you'll be seeing yours too. :hug:
 
Hope all goes well for you tomorrow cross stitch gal. Fingers crossed for the both of us. Xxxxxxx update me on here how it goes xxx
 
You know I will:) Definately not going there empty handed though! Especially with that medical log I've been keeping (into 3 pages now) and some doctors info that has: date of last period, phone # of the pharmacy I use & all the medications I'm taking whether prescription or not. Let's see if I can overload her with info!:runaway:

Sure hope they fix you tomorrow Shazz:( We really do need to get you taken care of bad... :ybatty: Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:hug:
 
Well cancelled me again today. So thats it had enough. They will be told tomorrow that its not on to treat people like this, it is causing me and my family unnecessary stress. Either they operate on me tomorrow or they give me a date next week for scheduled surgery
 
Thanks for the suggestion Misty! But I have already told the surgeon if he cant do my op tomorrow they can get me back on warfarin and I will go home. He can then arrange with my other surgeon to do both ops at the same time on 2nd August. He had no choice but to agree so thats that!
 
Seems to me like a too long of time. Sorry, just a normal person here. But 6 months...when you are up and about, hmmm. Especially considering everything else going on with Shazz, and them holding off surgery because of it. Gallbladder lapro, quick, easy...dont know. I just dont get it.

Her PE has been clear for a long time. I understand it's a risk. But still.
 
I agree as well. As it has been explained to me I understand the following; I am at a greater risk now due to the size and nature of the original pe. There is some hereditary link as well and all of the people in my family who have had surgery of some sort or another have all had dvt or pe. Also abdominal surgery carries a greater risk of pe anyway. Hope I explained it ok. Had another gallbladder attack tonight bad one. Made me glad I stayed xxxxxxx
 
Dr appt went well:) She had them take some blood from me & checked my CRP & ESR levels as well. We decided to take me off the asacol since she even mentioned that it isn't working for me. But, I am to stay on the pred 20mg that I am at right now.

We're going to try pentasa and see how that goes. If that doesn't work, then we'll try the aza at a lower dose than I was before. If that still doesn't work, then we'll talk again as far as other ways to go. Am supposed to update her in 2 weeks to give her an update on my symptoms. Thankfully I was pretty relaxed when we left today and happy for the plan of action along with someone who actually wanted to listen:) Hopefully now things will start calming down some at this household. Just hope this can happen for the rest of you as well. Xxxxxxxxxx Lisa
 
Am so so glad it went well and you are seeing a way forward now. It really does make a difference just having a doctor listen to you let alone agree with what you are saying. Good job!! Xxxxxxxxxx
 
Thanks:) We are very thankful too! At least there's a point of action now. Now we need to really get going with you! Can't wait to hear some good stuff happening your way. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
No way!!! EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheerss: wooHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:soledance::Flower::applause::emot-waycool:
 
They did it keyhole judging by the small plasters on my tummy! Not spoken to anyone yet so no details xxxxxxx
 
Not for a while cause they need to sort out my warfarin first. Might not be going home till tuesday or wednesday
 
Thats ridiculous. Surely your GP can sort your warfarin out. Most GP's have anticoag clinics...and are better at it than the juniors on surgical wards.
No wonder the NHS is falling apart.
 
You could have heparin injections at home until INR in range. Simples.
(They now do this for DVT and some PE's thus avoiding admission totally.)
 
They are just being extra careful with me I think. I appreciate it as well. Would rather stay a bit longer than be kicked out too soon and end up with complications
 
yippeeeeee!!!!!!! So glad you had it done today, Shazz!!! It's been far too long :) now on the road to recovery and you feeling better before your next op!
 
Yipeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness:) Well. Maybe we didn't get taken care of on the same day. But, I'm so thankful that they finally took care of you! Get some rest and hopefully these surgeries will all be over before you know it:) Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:hug:
 
Gotta admit that the wait is always the hard part:( Especially since I am like a little kid when it's waiting to get better! Here's a hope for all of us though to get all the help we need to feel somewhat normal again:) Xxxxxxxxxxxxx:hug:
 
I agree toothy! Waiting with friends is much better than waiting alone.

I had a rough night last night. The air they pumped into my stomach during the op has gotten trapped somewhere and is agonising. Its in my abdomen somewhere but its not coming out through my stoma and although I have been burping its not a lot.
they have given me lots of pain relief over night.
just want to get rid of this air. My stomach isnt bloated or distended or anything so dont know where it is.

Have been walking to the toilet on my own all night so I am pleased with that little milestone!
 
Going to get shaun to bring in some peppermint tea to see if that helps. They said it might so will give it a go
 
The gas floating around inside after surgery is very painful indeed. Walk as much as possible. And belch, of course. But it will eventually come out. Sorry it hurts!
 
Shazz, I am so happy for you!!!! Hopefully once the trapped air is gone you will be on the road to recovery! Sending you healing vibes. Again I would like to tell you how much I admire you! You have been through so much and still maintain a great attitude. Carol
 
Thank you carol. Have had hard days and easy days but have tried to stay positive throughout. A lot of other people on here have inspired me to stay as positive as I can. Hope you are well hun xxxxxxxxxx
 
Thought I would give you a plan of action update. So the plan is to re warfarinise me to aa safe and managable level over the weekend. Then home monday if all is well! I am happy with this plan as it gives me the weekend to get any niggles out of the way before they develop into bigger issues at home.

another bit of great news is I have my appetite back!! Yay at last. Cant eat very much at a time but I am eating, thats the main thing!!!!!
 
Yay food!!!!! I think getting niggles out of the way before you go home is a good idea. All the things that have happened to you Shazz...better safe than sorry!
:ghug:
 
I'm so happy you got an appetite back!!

That trapped air can be so brutal. Do you have a chair in your room that you can rock in or something like that? After my resection, they had me do that, and it did help the air move around better.
 
Yep I have got a nice chair I can use. Will try that later.

Saw the surgeon very briefly. He just wanted to tell me that as they brought the gallbladder out there was a substantial spillage of bile into my abdomen. So some of the pain I am getting is from the thorough scrubbing they gave my insides after!

He didnt have time to say anything as he was running late for clinic but he did wish me a speedy recovery.
I am having a lovely mug of peppermint tea to help and have also got some mints to suck on.

Hopefully this and the decent pain relief will work.
 
Glad things are going well for you Shazz:) Also thankful to hear that the recovery is going smoothly! Thanks for keeping us updated in all this! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :heart::hug:
 
That's awesome!!

How's stumpy being? I hope he's not giving you troubles.

I'm really glad that you had that darn thing yanked and you are on the road to recovery!!!
 
Good news is I am home.

Bad news is the pain wont go away!!

Was really looking forward to a nice nights sleep in my own bed. No sooner had I got in then my shoulder and back statred really hurting. I tried sitting up, with support all no good. So i am back in the front room on the sofa sat upright and miserable.

I had to come ho e as there was a seriously mentally ill lady who was keeping everyone on the ward awake. I had not slept properly since my op and felt it was starting to affect my recovery.

So here I am.

Have just taken 2 tramaol so they should help with the pain soon.
 
Hi! Up with foot cramps. There was a woman on my ward kept everyone awake when I had my major op. Couldnt understand why the hell they didnt knock them out with something!

Hope you are getting a bit of rest now. Wonder if the shoulder pain is a bit of gas from the op? Hope it calms down and you sleep!
 
Ugh, Shazz. I remember how painful those gas pains were. After I had my GB out that was the worst part of it. It was really bad when I had my lap resection too :( Hope it eases up so you can get some really really good rest!
 
Thanks guys.

It did eventually go away enough for me to sleep for a few hours. It is worse in the evenings and overnight. Hoping it will go away soon!

Really glad to be home!
 
Sorry!

Have been sleeping and resting a lot. Still sore, not unexpected, but getting better every day.
The pain from the gas/air is still with me but I am managing with tramadol and paracetamol.
My appetite is slowly returning and its nice to be able to eat with little to no nausea.
Am aching a lot but its bearable.
Am having to inject myself daily with clexane until my inr is back to therapeutic levels again. Not really enjoying that!
My stomach is a beautiful array of colors due to the surgery and the injections.
My wounds are hardly noticeable. One in my belly button again, he has taken all the old scar tissue away and given me a gorgeous neat scar, then 3 more small cuts just below my bust line.
He has done a fab job and am very happy with the result.
Might even try to get a picture on here for you all to see.
 
No worries, you're forgiven:) Glad to hear that you're feeling/getting better. Sad to hear that you're still getting some pain, but thankfully it's more bearable. Hopefully you'll be up jumping and dancing around a bit easier soon. In the meantime...XxxxxxxxxxxLisa
 
Decided to wait on starting the pentasa because the pharmacy didn't have the prescription right away. Plus, with asacol being so expensive we decided it'd be better to use the stuff up rather than just keeping it around. So, my last 2 pills of asacol will be with breakfast and then I start on the new drug. Gonna be a challenge for me at first having to take 4 doses like the doctor wants. But, will manage. Otherwise, surviving here too. Xxxxxxxx
 
Been feeling progressively more achy as the day has gone on. Been taking paracetamol and keeping my fluids up but its not making any difference.
Hope its not the start of an infection or a cold or something!
My wounds look ok, not red or sore. They are itchy but that's a sign of healing right?

Thank as for the update hun.
Glad things are going well. Good luck on the pentasa. Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Itchy is generally a good sign Shazz. But, achy isnt. I have to say, I have been achy with all the crap weather we are having and the low pressure systems. Times I thought I was either starting to flare, or coming down with the flu. Next day or two its gone. Lets hope that happens for you.

But....just think about what your poor old body has been thru, and maybe it deserves an ache or two. I am hoping every single day brings great improvement. I know when you still arent quite right, it's easy to get down. But, look at what you were like two weeks or months ago. See what an improvement!

Thank you for the update! And enjoy that food!
 
I know i am 100% better than I was even a few weeks ago.
Just had some scrambled eggs and a lovely cup of tea. Sat watching the tennis now.
Its more iin my legs than anywhere else at the moment but i occasionally feel very cold. Will keep taking the paracetamol and getting lots of rest.
 
Sounds like a good idea:) Rest is always a good thing! Get it while you can:) I'm having a hard time getting some myself. The dogs next door keep waking me up with their whining & barking. Tempted to throw some chocolate to them just to shut them up so I can go back to sleep for awhile. Unfortunately, might just be a waste of good chocolate:( Pretty bad when the neighbor dogs are so loud and you can't even hear our chicks outside because they're so quiet though...

Thanks so much for the updates:) Hopefully the discomfort will go down quick for you. Will let you know how the pentasa does. Thanks for the support:) Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Up and down.
Been trying to eat but been feeling sick a lot again.
Still getting the sweats and chills.
Still aching a lot.
Still very tired.
Just taking one day at a time.
 
Oh Shazz:( Sorry to hear that you're still not feeling up to snuff. Thankful to hear that you're doing well otherwise though:)

Still dealing with headaches from the new meds. But, have only been with the new drug since thur without the old stuff and am seeing improvement. So, even though we're still dealing with challenges this might actually be a bit of a blessing if I keep doing fairly well:)

Hope things keep looking up for you:) LisaXxxxxxxx
 
Sorry you are feeling poorly still. The weather isnt helping, do you have your life raft out down there?
 
Haha got the canoe on stand by! Really glad we live on a hill.
Was lovely and sunny earlier but its now so dark I might have to put some lights on in a minute!
 
oh shazz :( I was really hoping you hadn't been around because you were feeling so great!

Still hoping every day that you have start feeling really good.
 
How you doing shazzy?? Haven't heard from you in a few days and was starting to worry! I hope that you are doing great and so busy running around having fun that you haven't had a chance to post :)
 
Hi Shazz
How are you?
Where have you been these last few days?
Hope things are as well as can be expected
Hugs Trysha
 
Sadly I have started t feel sick again!
Also abdo pain on the right side when I move, so trying not to move.
Still so very tired and my knee joints hurt like a bitch.
Been having chills and sweats as well.
Still trying to eat little and often but its getting harder with the nausea.
Not sure what is going on.
 
Goodness shazz :( Have you called the doc at all? If you are having chills and sweats, you might have a fever! I really hope you dont' have an infection or anything like that.

I was really hoping you went on holiday and were laying out on a beach feeling well!

Big squishy hugs from KY!
 
No temp. All as normal apart from the other stuff.
Keeping my fluids up, as usual, but I know if I don't have a temp the docs wont do anything
 
Tell them temps dont always tell! Like me for instance. Perforated bowel, septic, fistula thru fallopian tube, CRP 160's, heart rate 170's...temp...NORMAL!!!
 
Ok ok I will go to the docs.
Sheesh you lot nag very well online!
I know its cause you care. Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Just imagine if we were all able to get together for the nagging! HeHeHe:) Truth is that we hope these updates will be turned around hearing that you're back to your "normal" self. Take care my friend. Xxxxxxxxx
