MY LAST ENTRY WAS ON 12/6....ON 12/8/08, JIMMY TOOL ME TO THE DOCTORS FOR AN INFECTION IN MY LEFT LEG...THE DOCTOR IMMEDIATLY ADMITEED ME, AND I JUST GOT HOME LAST WEEK...........IT WAS A LONG DRAWN OUT PROCEDURE.......
A PIC LINE WAS INSERTED IN MY ARM FOR ANTIOBIOTIC TX..........THAT BECACME INFECTED, AND FROM THERE I WENT TO SURGERY TO HAVE A PORT A CATH INSERTED IN MY CHEST. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME IT WAS TO BE A 15 MINUTE PROCEURE..........HOWEVER IT TOOK 2 HOURS IN THE OR, AND 1 IN RR.......AND THE WOTSRT PART IS, I HEARD EVERYTHING....THE DOCYOR WAS STARTING TO PANIC......HE SAID,"OH MY GOD, SOMETING IS WRONG........QUICK, GIVE ME A HEAVY DRESSNG....AND ANOTHER ONE.:..........I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG, BUT I DIDN;T KNOW WHAT.......YOU SEE, I WAS HEMMORHAGING. ALSO I WAS UNDER LIGHT SEDATION AND I HEARD IT ALL, AFTER THE SEDATION STARTED GIVING OUT..........
WHEN I FINALLY GOT BACK TO THE ROOM, JIMMY WAS THERE AND SAID MY PILLOWS WERE SATUARATED WITH BLOOD.........SO WAS MY HAIR..........SO IN THE MRNINING JIMMY HAD TO WASH MY HAIR AS BEST HE VOULD BECUSAE OF ALL THE BLOOD............IT WAS A MESS AND I WAS A MESS!.........a big pressure dressing on my neck, half Taped to my hair!..........AND SO, TO TRY AND MAKE THE STORY A LITTLE SHORTER, I HAD AN MRSA INFECTION THAT WENT THROUGH MY WHLE BODY.....I WAS ON ISOLATION, AND JIMMY SAT WITH ME EVERYDAY , ALL GOENED UP, WITJ GLOVES AND MASK ON. I WAS IN ANTIBX TWICES A DAY, SOR 6 TO 8 HOURS INFUSING INTO ME.......
THE ANTIBX MADE ME SO SICK, I JUST CAN'T TELL YOU!.....could NOT EAT, NAUSEA, AND 10 TO 20 TIMES A DAY DIA----..(if you know what i mean)..................I THOUGHT I WAS DYING!
amd then to make it worse, my hgb fell to 7.3.......this was a big emergency...the norm is around 12 to 14......i was everly anemic...........so then they transfused me.
SO, AFTER ALL THAT, I FINALLY CAME HOME ON THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK...........SINCE THEN, I HAVE LOST 20 LBS, OF THE 45 LBS I GAINED BECAUSE OF ALL TH INFUSIONS, AND MASSIVE DOSES OF INSULIN I HAD TO TAKE BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE INFECTION IN MY BODY ( 300 UNITS PER DAY OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF INSULIN). SOMTIMES MY BLOOD SUGAR WOULD FALL SO RAPIDLY, THAT I WOULD START ACTING FUNNY...I WOULD START TALKING FUNNY, NS JIMMY THOUGHT I WAS HAVING ANOTHER STROKE...........BUT MY BLOOD SUGAR MAY BE AT 40 AT THAT POINT.
I HATE TO TALK ABOUT NEGATIVE THINGS, BUT I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU WHAT I WENT THOUGH!
well, last tuesday, during the day, i am sitting in my rom..................SUDDENLY I FELT SOMETHING JUST "POP" OUT OF MY BODY............I HAVE FELT THIS HAPPEN TO ME MANY TIMES BEFORE IN MY LIFE...........SUDDENLY I WAS HEALED OF EVERTHING BAD IN MY BODY.......IT MAY EVEN BE THE ANGELS!!!!!!!!!! (PLEASE READ BILL AND LIBBY'S COMMENT)
JIMMY KNOWS I FEEL SO WELL!........we went for ashes on wednesday, and to THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS ON FRIDAY, AND CHURCH TOMORROW.
I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT SLOW.........I'M HALFWAY THROUGH ONE OF DEBBIE MACOBER'S BOOS, AND MAY STRAT CROCETING TONIGHT.......I'VE STARTED ENJOYING THE COMPUTER AGAI, PLAYING SCRABBLE, AND READING SOME BLOGS.....EVEN STRARTED LIKING TV AGAIN!
