new beginnings
so okay. im recovering from surgery still. its been almost a week. tomorrow i get my 21 staples taken out.
ive been sick a long time. almost 2 years and didnt really tell anyone. i tried to keep it to myself as much as possible. basically every time i ate i got sick (threw up). this wasnt me inducing it. just my body rejecting food. i really wasnt losing any weight and i didnt have insurance so i just let it go. i was living feeling sick. getting sick even if i starved myself. i didnt understand. if i dont eat why do i get sick?
i had friends telling me to go but, tony kept pushing for me to see a doctor. we were honestly afraid that i had cancer. well, i didnt. ive been through a long road with this. i went to a free health care center almost 2 months ago because of no health insurance and no job. they thought i had 2 diseases that i didnt. they put me on medication and because they didnt document all medications i was on i ended up having an allergic reaction overdose and almost died. my father had to rush me to the emergency room.
well i went back and talked to another doctor. i told them my symptoms and showed that i had pain on my right side under my ribs. they said that was my gall bladder. they did an ultrasound and found out my gall bladder was completely covered in stones and was twisted. they wanted me to have surgery. awaiting to hear from a surgeon who would do the surgery for free a stone got lodged in my bile duct and two sundays ago i was rushed back to the e.r. i was too unstable to operate and the stone moved so i was ok. so last thursday i went under the knife to have my gall bladder removed. when they went in they found that it was completely diseased. they said it looked like it stopped working long ago. probably two years ago when my symptoms began. that it was actually forcing poison toxins and dead tissue into my stomach instead of doing its job. thats why i was so sick everytime i ate. they said that i didnt drop weight because my body was in starvation mode.
my belly button is cut 3 1/2 inches then i have 3 cuts under my ribs on my right side.
the surgery sucked! this has def been the most painful thing ive been through but, hopefully its a new beginning. i woke up in recovery screaming from the pain. i started to go into shock and i was put under blankets and heating pads. i also wasnt wanting to breathe without the tube. so they had to keep slappin me to breathe.
i wasnt suppose to go back to work till friday but, i begged my doctor to let me go back early. o yea, im employed now. only for a short while because im moving to buffalo by middle of next month. i think it was stupid for me to go back early because today i overdid it and im more sore. heh, im too stubborn.
today was the first day i got sick since the surgery but, i didnt take pain meds when i was at work and all the walking around and bending and all that just made me feel sick. hopefully it wont happen again.
