Was In A Car Accident, On Friday And My Stomach Is Not Happy!

[stellabug321 51]

So I was in a car accident, on Friday, I am fine just some bumps and bruises! The car is not but hey I'm here to tell the story!

I had a ct scan and X-rays, to make sure that my stomach was okay and it was no leaks, or internal bleeding, I have a bruise from seatbelt that starts from the neck all down the right side of my body and then across my stomach! I look like a Christmas tree with all these colors from the bruising!

I was just wondering if anyone has some input, it seems like have completely lost my appetite, and finding it hard to consume Water, I'm forcing myself to drink cause I have too, but I'm thinking its just swelling g! What do you fellow sleepers think! I found today I ate a little more then I have in the last coue days but still not like it was!

I've made sure there's no leaks and no bleeding! Just want to hear some feedback!

Thanks!

Sorry for the spelling! My iPhone and I are really not on good terms, when it comes to posting on here!

Thank God you are ok! I'm only 6 weeks out and haven't experienced any type of trauma post surgery but you do bring up a very scary potential situation. I've wondered how long it takes until the stomach is completely healed. How far are you post-op?

I am 3 months post- op! It's the first thing I told my ER nurse! It's funny though how many people have never heard of this operation! Yes I am so very thankful I am okay!

I'm going to to see if maybe my doctor has a cancellation as I can't get into see him till Monday, and I really don't like going into ER as I'm a nurse to and they say we make the worst PTs

I had an accident like that pre-surgery, with all the soft tissue injuries in the abdomen. Even with a normal stomach I felt sick and had a hard time eating for a little while, so I would say it's just a matter of time and taking it very easy. Glad you didn't get worse injuries, hope you feel better quickly!
