Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Feeling a little scared but I know I’ll be much better off after its all over.

Monday update

Well, it’s official; I’m having surgery. My doctor came round this morning and has said it is the best caused of action for me now due to how much, and how rapidly, I’ve declined. I’ve also spoken to a surgeon who has gone over what they want to do and will come and see me again in the morning with my latest xray results.

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed and a little tired from it all but I know it’ll be for the best. It’s going to be a tough few months to start with but at least I won’t be in pain and having to stay in the hospital anymore.

BM have slowed a bit today but my stomach and gut are still very tender. I haven’t had my xray yet but I imagine that will take place tomorrow now.

Spoken to the doctor. He’s going to give me more IV liquids overnight and get another abdominal xray done too just to make sure everything is ok. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious.

Not IBD-related but I’m feeling miserable. I saw these and have decided to make them when I get home.

On IV pain killers now because my cramps have increased quite a bit this evening. I’m going to request to see the doctor because this feels like it’s only getting worse.

And to make the day even worse, it’s hailing. I made it off ward briefly though, so not all bad. My legs don’t feel so stiff today so if I keep going for little walks, I should be ok.

Less than seven hours and I’m needing yet another new canula. Not very impressed with my veins right now.

Yet another canula. This one’s a little uncomfortable but it’s only just gone in so I expected as much. Hopefully it’ll settle and they won’t need to change it too soon.

Had a weird day yesterday; no BM after 10am all the way until this morning at one. All the while, I felt like a balloon was sitting in the stomach and I was very uncomfortable. I have since had multiple BM but it’s still pretty slow going. I’m hoping it was just a one off and I’ll be back on track today.
Also, I had an heartrate of around 45-58 this morning which is extremely low for me. I told the nurse and they’re keeping an eye on that but, again, just hoping it was a weird blip.
Fingers crossed the doctor will be round later today.
