So as many of you know, Thursday went back in to have another scope and the remaining gallstones removed.When awoke after surgery I was in the most excrutiating pain I had ever experienced. (For those of you who ever suffered from gallstones it was like the mother of all attacks.) The Dr.decided to admit me as my enzyme levels had spiked and my pancreas and liver were inflamed however he was pretty sure he got all the stones out. That night I lived on morphine and gravol every 4 hours. After 2 days of being in being flooded with IV to the point of having to pee every 15 minutes, I finally convinced the Dr I felt well enough to come home. He promised me that if I could keep solids in without pain, I could go home tonight. My dr was away for the weekend but I finally had a Dr who was filling in for him come and see me to discharge. He said he still wasnt real happy with my bloodwork but since I was not really experiencing much pain could go home but.....he said my dr had left a note to follow up with him in a week to do a blood check on the enzymes again and...ARE YOU FN READY FOR THIS??? To reschedule yet another scope for 6 weeks from now as he had put a stent in and now it needs to come out...and...to once again sweep for gallstones..."just to make sure". so tonight I am home' feeling really crappy still, Wallee whining for attention and in the back of my mind..omg...I have to go through this AGAIN???? I'm tellling you, childbirth was easier than this...I guess maybe it was a good thing I lost my job....as it is not over yet.
Yeah..Happy feeling really crappy birthday to me.
