Recommended Posts

Having the most horrible experience of my life.

Something so exciting has been nothing but....

Surgery was Monday. Couldn't keep down Water until Wednesday.

Finally went home Thursday, only to return to the ER Thursday night with fever/chills. I was admitted to the hospital, joy!

My appendix needed to come out. Was VERY ill, come to found out it was C-Diff from all the antibiotics they gave me. In for surgery I go.

Friday/Sat/Sun/ horrible horrible horrible horrible. Some of the Worst days of my life.

I cried to so many nurses, I praise the lord I have a couple excellent nurses who became a friend pretty much and helped me thru.

Today, I am ok. Im breathing.

Still nothing close to feeling good.

If I could turn back time right now, I would have never shown up for surgery on Monday.

:( :( :( :(

I am so sorry you had such a horrible time. It sounds like the appendix was the big culprit. Regardless of your RNY on Monday, you still would have needed an appendectomy. Now you just need to take time to heal - it'll be harder with the app'y pain but hang in there! You CAN do this so stay strong and lean on your family, friends or this board for support. We're here for you sister! Healing thoughts coming your way!
