I Have been absent for a long time in the Hospital
Just to update everyone why I haven't been around. I got real sick and ended up in the hospital July 11 to Aug 7. Ended up having emergency surgery and having an ostomy bag and having 14 inch of colon taken out. Kidney biopsy, bone marrow test. Still they are not sure what happened. It is sooo good to be back home. I have home health care come in almost daily to check my vitals. They took so much blood in that time span. I had about 7 IV's they put in and 2 pick lines that they could draw blood without searching(probing) for a vein to get it from daily. They put the fluids to me the first 48 hours and my kidneys wouldn't let it go, so I had 40lbs too much they had to find a way to get rid of. My feet and legs could not support that much weight immediately put on. I almost collapsed each time they tried to get me out of bed. From about 165 lbs to over 200 lbs. in 48 hours. It will be a slow recovery but know with God's help I will make it. My surgeon said at my followup that if she hadn't operated, I would have died. Blessings to all, Bev
