Back in Hospital

[Peggy Jean 41]

Tuesday, Sept. 2 with my 2 week post-op. Ended up in the ER Monday morning. Wasn't feeling well Saturday and Sunday and called my Dr, Monday morning and told him I had had a low grade fever for 2 days, stomach pain(not sever, but bad enough) so he said he would met me in the ER. Come to find out I had a sever UTI and was severely dehydrated. Took them 3 hrs, 5 different nurses, and 8 holes in my arms to find blood. Ended up with a PICC line and if you don't know what that is; well, you're just better off not knowing. He let me come home 2 days early as long as I drank my 64 ozs.

Well, that was certainly horrible and I haven't weighed but bet the Hospital put a good 7 or 8 lbs on me I have to lose again. I was on such a roll too...

Oh well, ladies ... keep lifting that glass ... you do NOT want to end up needing a PICC line. Another little adventure to go into WLS book,

Can't wait until I feel better so I can start exercising again

Good to be home!.

I'm glad it turned out to be something that could be easily treated. Your adventure sounds like my nightmare... average bloodwork makes me queasy but trying to find a vein... ugh!

I'm happy you're feeling better and we can all learn from you! Thanks for sharing.

Oh I am so sorry! My dr was talking about giving me one so I could go home and be able to have fluids overnight at home...
