Hi Priscilla. I hope you're having a good day and recovering. You have been doing such an awesome job!

[Wylie's Mom]

Just dropping off a HI and some (((hugs))) for Sweet P! Hope you are feeling better and better each and every day.

Me too! I want to say hello and tell you that I am always thinking of you. Hoping you are feeling better each day. I miss you.

Hi guys,
I'm still getting cards and that makes me really happy. For some reason a few got redirected to the house instead. Not sure how they knew about that. But anyway the cards are really appreciated.
Miss you guys a lot. My stomach is still huge. I look at least six months pregnant. But def better than before. Bf showed me some pics when I was first admitted and I seriously looked like a ghoul. I do not remember any of it.

Hi Priscilla! I'm glad you are improving and that you don't remember the first days of being sick. Have you been able to get up and move at all? Or do you have to stay in bed?

I am strong enough to walk around without a walker now. I can go to the bathroom by myself. Thankfully my room has a full bathroom and shower. I finally had enough energy to take a shower today but took a lot out of me. Yesterday bf helped me wash my hair. 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.

Thanks for keeping in touch, Priscilla. Great that you could take a shower, & your long post also tells us you're feeling more like yourself. Any word on when you might begin on the clear liquids?
Take care,
Annie Dolly & Teena

I'm so glad to hear you're able to get up and around a bit. I can't imagine going through what you did, and I hope I'll be as strong as you have been if I ever do. I'll say a prayer tonight for your stomach swelling to come down, that's gotta hurt.

[Maximo]

Priscilla, I'm glad you felt strong enough to take a shower. Although it must have been exhausting, I can imagine it felt good.

Your words are what I read in a forum for people who have been pancreatitis. They all said they wouldn't wish it on their worst enemies.

I wish you strength and relief from all of the pain and discomfort. Praying physical therapy goes fast so that you can return home.

Sending you lots of love and healing wishes.

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?

Glad to see you are a bit stronger and able to do a bit of walking and showering. Keep up the good work.

[capt_noonie]

I'm in 819 now. It's strange though how so many got fwd to the house even though the cards were adddressed w the hospital address on them.

There's a gremlin in the works...!!! Weird!!!

So happy you're feeling a teensy bit better - I bet you feel sooo much better after a shower/hairwash - makes you feel a bit more human again xx
