Hi All!
I wanted to let you all know I finally made it home later last night. I know some of you all were worried but I am much better. I was happy to meet those of you in the same time as me. I am sorry I wasn't more socialable but you know I was feeling horrible. Please don't hold it against me :-)
Anyhwo for those who weren' there... I had lap done at 7:30am Tuesday and then during the day I was hitting 9 on the pain scale and no drugs were helping so they took me at 6pm and did a open surgery (love the battle scar) and they found a bleeding artery. There was almost a quart of bool in side me, and not IN the right places. Well he sewd it up and made it better. Before the 2nd surgery they gave me 2 things of blood transfusions and endless IV bags. Over all I GAINED 16 lbs of fluid, not fun. SO everytime they tryed to pull blood they couldn't find a vein in my puffy arms so Now I ahve about 20-25 needle marks and a band aid brisue. That as weird but I ahve a bruise that is shaped like the band aid even with the tiny holes.
Ok so now I am home and need to go rest.I will write more later!
love to all who kept me walking those halls and keeping me motivated!!You are the best!
