Whit!

So sorry I haven't called; I'm still exhausted and really sore. Alex sprang me for awhile today and took me home to watch the Eagles game. We were hoping I would be able to stay at home, but I haven't been able to cut down on my pain meds at all (so I can't really be alone), and our bed is too hard to get into and out of with the pain I'm still having.

Hey Dr. Dyann? Couple things I'm still worried about and my follow up visit is not until Tuesday; maybe you (or anyone else) has some suggestions? Whenever I eat anything, I am able to keep it down, but I get really nauseous with any food or anything to drink, plus I'm still having some of the old pain when it goes down - not up near my pouch anymore, but further down in my intestines. I was hoping this was going to go away, but still hasn't. Also, definitely passing some gas and burping now, but STILL NO BM!!! I haven't gone since they gave me an enema in the ER last Tuesday (EWW, I know), and that was still very difficult. I really don't know if my body is still stunned or what, but coupled with the fact that I haven't been able to cut down my pain meds at all, and still can't stand up straight, just a little worried.

Dreading talking to my boss the next time, especially if there is still something wrong. I have to admit, part of me almost hopes she fires me, because, frankly, it's the easy way out, I could collect unemployment and finally get away from that crazy individual (censored!!). Having my doctor write a very strongly worded letter regarding my health and recuperation, regardless. Dreading when I have to go back to work, even though it's still at least a week away. ARG! I'm trying not to let it get to me, but I can't deal with this horrific, negative influence in my life, but I cannot afford to quit without another job. Please, just let her blow her stack, threaten to fire me in an attempt to make me come back sooner, and let me call her bluff.
