  1. Looking and feeling like another ileus. Took my meds and possibly visiting the ER again. Two serious ileus within a little over two weeks.
  2. #Twitition Fight Against the AFHA to Keep Cooper Veloudis' Playhouse! twitition.com/txu33
  3. Missed my ID doc appointment by mixing up the time with another. Surgery on hold until cleared from the ID doc and the back swelling gone.
  4. Tomorrow getting cleared by ID doc for surgery to place the spinal cord neurostimulator. I hope the lump on my back is a simple hematoma.
  5. @SarahACox not fun in the least but atleast theyre rushing stuff to get my surgery b4 my sis's wedding, need to get cleared from ID doc 1st
  6. Homecare nurse (who I love) informed me that the lump on my back in the area of my last infection is probably an abscess :(
  7. Back home after monitoring a developing second ileus... Still on antibiotics IV until the 27th. Hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving Day!
  8. In the ER getting my port looked at.
  9. Back from a long hospital stay but now have a leaking port. I just want one break...
  10. Stuck in the hospital with ileus. NG tube down on continual suction and bowel rest with NPO.
  11. Got back from hospital again. This one showed an increase of liver enzymes. I know it's from tpn, but what happens if they don't come down?
  12. Still recovering with lots of pain and migraines. Husband says I am either convulsing or stop breathing. I am on a 2 week heart monitor now.
  13. Celiac plexus block didn't work. Was going to schedule a stimulator for this week but I suffered a grand mal seiure instead.
  14. Testing continues to figure out my seizure and other worrisome symptoms.
  15. Grand mal seizure - mayoclinic.com/health/grand-m… occurred Friday night. Still trying to work with the hospital neurologist to find the reason for it
  16. Had a seizure last night. Doctors don't know why so now I have to watch myself. Last night was terrifying for all and I'd like to not repeat
  17. TAP block tomorrow at 9:30. SO nervous.
  18. Going in for a TAP nerve block next week and I'll find out if a spinal cord stimulator is in my future for pain control.
  19. Iron infusion tomorrow. Hope all goes well.
  20. Therapy tomorrow and iron infusions on Friday. That is, if I don't react like I did to the venofer last time.
