Just out of ER for the 2nd time

Hi everyone

Went to ER last night and again this morning via ambulance. I've been SO sick since that dam Colonoscopy but they rehydrated me via IV and gave me drugs for pain, nausea, etc. However I still can't keep even liquids down but in time that will come. I'm even scared to weigh myself as this has been going on for 2 weeks now. Soon they will be able to just hold my up to the light instead of taking an Xray :)

My heart gave everyone quite the scare last night so I landed in the Cardiac Ward. Nitro under tongue, the whole 9 yards. My veins rolled last night and today so I sorta look like a pin cushion. However, I'm being "investigated" by this new EP and was just at the pacemaker clinic on Friday, so once I was stable I made them focused on my gut issues. Although, to be 100% honest, I was very scared with what happened to me in the ambulance with my heart, but won't get into details as my postings are always too long :)

I'm still feeling absolutely miserable but I know it will be yet another long road to recovery for my stomach. I will NEVER EVER EVER get another Colonoscopy as long as I live.

We all go thru some rough patches in our lives, but I'm really thinking I'm getting more than the norm. But, what can yah do about it? I left the ER today with a few plans from a very nice and intelligent ER doctor, so here's hoping things will eventually get better for me. There's only so much one person can take!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone out there has some extra hope that they would like to send my way........I'll take it.

Extra Hope

God did not bring you this far only to abandon you now. Hang in there for surely this too shall pass.

Remember that when you get to the end of your rope,
tie a knot in it and hang on!

My sister had cdiff a couple years ago and she was very sick. You would never know it today. She bounced back and is her old self again. You will too.

I belong to another organization that teaches me when I get to feeling down to put pen to paper and write a grattitude list. Start with I am alive, I live in a free country, I have family and friends who love me. I have a roof over my head, I have food. You get the idea. The longer your list the better and you will find that something in the writing of a grattitude list changes you and you become grateful no matter the circumstances.

Give it a try, what do you have to lose?

You will be in my prayers

Wow, and I thought I had it bad!!!! It was only 3 minutes from my house to the ER door and I didn't make it with the wife taking me, had to go back home with the C-Diff problem, change, and try it again. Fortunately I had a fresh PM but it was into overload with my gut going crazy. I've always had the vegal problem, another reason for the PM and It has it's hands full with trying to keep the ticker in sync. So, Karen, think of all the positive as you're just a young chick and my Prayers are also with you. DonB

when I had my colonoscopy a year ago I had a complication that is NOT listed in the possible complications... did they do a CT scan of your abdomen?
I had a double Intussusception of the intestine! (in the jejunum) Until they di the CT scan, nurses and docs just kept walking past me and saying some people really have a hard time with anesthesia...and other stupid things like that. but when they saw the results, they looked all serious and admitted me to the hospital. If you can't keep even water down for 15 minutes or so, that is one of the symptoms.
It's extremely rare, but it happens.
good luck and let us know how you are.

not again!

All the prayers and love is coming your way. Hug that puppy. Hug your hubbie. I like the list thing, or type your frustrations on here, and your postings are not long young lady, make them 10 pages we will read them, get the feelings out and lay it on us, I know I did when I came here, everyone listened and it did make me feel a little better. Praying for relief for my best friend. Love and hugs to you and your husband.
