One moment i was watching students at an assembly and the next I'm crumbled up in a corner in accute pain in my abdomen. it brought me to my knees and tears to my eyes. my coworker drove me to the hospital. They were way busy and I had to wait in pain in the waiting room for two hours. Then into the ER for four hours, then a CAT scan and pain meds (dilaudin) which made me nautious. Finally they got me a room upstairs and it was nice and they took care of me. In the morning they entered my abdomen with a needle to sample infection and insert a drain. They are giving me what they call the "big guns" of antibiotics every 8 hours.
So, the next night I'm hanging out blogging, watching Craig Ferguson and even doing homework. Also went for a couple of walks to keep system moving. The nurses here are delightful, the kind of people I'd like to hang around. They are so gentle, and they care about all my body functions and comfort level. Wouldn't it be nice to have people treat me that way all the time.
Well, they want to do surgery and cut out the infection. I think I'm ready, I been strugling with this for two plus years. Dr Dubar came in and was very confident about taking care of my problem. He is the first, three other surgeons did not want to operate. You see my case is very unique and difficult.
Dr. Dubar is like a legend in the hospital, his reputation of being the surgeon with the most challenging patients preceeded him.
I'm falling asleep so will add more tomoro.
