Hey there, y’all. I have now been what’s going on 4+ weeks in the hospital.
After my 4th round of going into the ER due to not keeping down fluids or anything, they finally admitted me to get me hydrated and steady.
I had been vomiting so much that I gave myself a hernia. Very small hernia but man was it causing so much pain. After being there a few days we talked with my surgeon and my doctors and they all agreed that at that very moment I was going to be in the best shape and we needed to fix the hernia now rather than later.
So a few days in I had my surgery, went well, feeling better and honestly one of my easiest and quickest healing surgeries.
I was doing really quite well, just careful about my muscles since they had been torn open and stitched back together. But otherwise i was doing great! Another 5 days goes by and I had said to my nurse that I didn’t feel well. (Keep in mind I had been having post surgery fevers all week which is kind of normal for me but this time it was different) So I asked if they could weigh me cause i just didn’t feel up to par. They weighed me and i weighed the same as i had coming in. Then 48 hours, a move to a different floor/room, and i was still feeling weird so i asked them to weigh me again cause my whole
body at this point was just SO in pain.
Weighed myself and within the 48 hours I gained 20 pounds.
I started crying. I didn’t wanna have to go through this again as back in october i had already gained 30 pounds from all my treatments and am still struggling very very hard to get those pounds off. So add on 20 more? my
body is NOT happy. So then we set out to figure out what was causing all my weight gain. I wasn’t on fluids, I was walking every time i got up around the floor, i am not really eating that much due to stomach issues and allergies, so nothing really added up. So here I am in pain, asking for help over and over and test after test but nothing. So, from June 2021 to March 2022 I have gained 50 pounds. It’s so awful and all they can say is the fact that my kidney isn’t working or just anything to get me on my way.
These past 4+ weeks I have been struggling. Mentally, physically, and anything in between. I am hurting still, i am struggling to understand why i’m gaining weight every few days, and I am struggling as to why the doctors are just giving up on me and sending me home. I will be going home tomorrow, I am requesting a huge amount of prayers please. I feel down in the dumps lately and very nervous i will end up back in the hospital or doctor soon after I get released.
Please keep the prayers coming, maybe even some answer to come magically overnight before I leave that we can fix. Any prayers you can just send them my way. I just really badly need a pick me up.
Thank y’all for always being ready for my need
of prayers when it comes around. Thanks again everyone! Hopefully next post will be good news.
I am very sorry for this sad post, I wish I had more of an upbeat, good news one but unfortunately I do not.
Once again, thank you for your prayers and please keep them coming! ????
