I feel like I am improving. I’m out of bed and in my own clean pajamas, watching Castle season one and actually eating a bit easier. I’m only on jelly and soup today but they did say I can try proper food tomorrow if I want.
I’m getting on with my stoma ok; I’m able to empty and change the bag with little help now so the nurse said she is quite happy to sign me off.
I hope this means I can go home by the end of next week but I’m not holding my breath, just in case.
And I made it. I’m a little brain foggy from the morphine but otherwise all ok. Thank you so much for everyone’s kind messages. I will try to update on my recovery as best I can.
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.
So, the doctor has been round. For starters, he wants to start me back on steroids to fight any inflammation in my gut. My stomach is very tender at the moment which has caused him some concern so he wants another xray done. But he’s also mentioned surgery and is going to have a surgical team and a stoma nurse come talk to me. Needless to say, I’m worried and got a bit upset once he’d left. But I know it’ll be for the best in the long term.
