I have finally found out what has been making me so sick for so long. After wasting away to a mere 114 pounds and looking every inch the feeble, breakable grandmother that I was, we found out. On Mother's Day night, I started having the most horrible abdominal pain. Scott finally ended up taking me to the hospital, and come to find out I had a Lower Bowel Obstruction. Somehow, some scar tissue had wrapped around my bowel acting like a "lap band", thus making me where I could not eat, didn't want to get up...............I was just feeling lousy all day, everyday. They did surgery on me, and to everyone's surprise, I came out of surgery on a vent! I was on this vent for three days, and I had some really wonderful experiences even when I came so close to death. (Story to follow soon, I hope)
I remained in the hospital for fifteen days, received a bill today for $95,000.00 since I was in ICU for most of it
Thank goodness I have 2 insurances. They can fight it out.
Anyway, still have my original problem that plagues me daily, but I have been seeing a physician in Houston, Texas, and I think we are real close to getting it resolved. (say a prayer).
Johnboy has been living with me about three to four days a week, making me his challenge to get me better. As of now, we are walking two miles a day, plus I have gained up to a healthy 124 pounds (I am only 5'1") so that's good for me. Johnboy has been very good for me. He is such a special brother and I love him so much!
I hope all of you are well, and I have missed each and every one of you. I simply did not pull up my computer for days on end, simply because I did not have the energy! I lived in a chair in my bedroom for almost two years! I feel so much better now, and oh,...........by the way..............I quit smoking during the hospital stay thanks to the good ole patches, but was not even aware of it, as I was not conscious a whole lot of the time! I am on the mend, so everyone just keep me in their prayers, and that alone will be enough to get me not only partially, but ALL the way well again and I can have a life once again.
Love, Sunny
