Besides that I had not had my hair washed or taken a shower since being admitted at the end of Sept. I just did not have the energy for it. All I got was wipe downs from the nurses.
Most days I am just in bed though. I'm still hooked up to the IV and being tube fed. The stuff taste vile. Even though it bypasses by mouth and stomach I can smell it. Tastes like regular Cheerios in Ensure and it makes me cough non stop.
I also had two CT scans in about four days and they make my back hurt so bad. Plus I'm still in a lot of pain in the abdomen. I seriously would never wish this one anyone. I really want to go home but after the hospital I have to go to a physical therapy place. There were many times I wanted to just leave the hospital and just go home and wait to die it was so bad. |
Oh hon, you poor girl. It's just unreal, what you've been through. I can't imagine the pure exhaustion you must feel at times. I know you must just want this to be *done* already, so you can get home and get back to your life...and this just stopped you cold in your tracks. It's so hard to be patient when you're so sick of being sick. But you *will* get there, you really will.
If people want to send add'l cards, what is your current room number, btw?
