Hi barbann, today is a better day for me. . .still majorly swollen though, look really pregnant! but that is expected! How are you feeling? Are you getting those fluids in a bit better today? Don't worry about the pooping, remember you really don't have anything in the tummy. . . did the contrast not give you the trots really badly? I'm still going 3-4 times a day since Wednesday. . .are you walking lots? Has the shoulder pain gone away, mine is slowly going, the sleeping thing is a bit of a challenge, but it will soon go away. . . i'm just glad i'm off work for the next 2 weeks! Keep me posted honey and take care of yourself. . .

How are you doing today? Just wanted to check in on you??

Thinoneday,
I hope you are able to sleep well tonight, and I pray your tummy gives enough peace to rest. I am hangin' on to the faith that this too shall pass, but man o man it is a rough row to hoe. I have had a really hard time getting my fluids in, so I am off to sip, sip ,sip...

home today, really feel icky! but i guess it too shall pass. . . doctor sent me home with darvocet pills hope these will work ok. . . . my shoulder is on fire too. . . having really wild diarrhea from the contrast though. . . i never had morphine because i'm allergic but did have diloided. . . it was given though my central line. . . very hard iv stick to needed a central line. . . i know all this shall pass and we'll be happy later, but right now it's pretty gross and painful. . .

Yep,
feel like total crap. I am weak, very sick to my stomach, and my left shoulder is on fire. Really feel like crud and oh, so miss my morphine drip. Gentle cyber huugs sent yourway.
