Surgery Experience...a nightmare!

I'm home!!!!!

I got home Sunday evening after spending five days.  I had some complications during the surgery and then on Friday, my blood pressure dropped, my oxygen level dropped, my fever spiked.  they were not sure what was going on but feared that pnemonia as stepping in. 

I was in so much pain!!!  OMG. it felt like razor blades running through my body.  it was like the pain medicaion didn't do any justice.  But then by Sunday afternoon after my cat scan I felt normal-for once. I walked around like normal. 

I was starving when I went into th surgery- wanted my pizza party and still felt that way when I got out but has hold it off.  Tim stayed home with the nurses near by. I had hoped to have family stayed but no volunteers.

I ended up taking the taxi cab home  because no one who claimed to be friends were available to help out. Suddenly phones were turned off!   I was like ok...I'm never doing anything again for these folks again!   I mean for God's sake, I just had serious surgery and need help and you all run and hide instead of helping?!

No ONE came in to see me except 2 of Tim's nurses.  No one called except for relatives from out of state.  No "friends" came by muchless didn't even call.   I was left alone to deal with this shit.  Thank God for Jennifer, she brought me some Wendy's otherwise I would had starved as the stupid nurse never ordered my food.  I got no cards or flowers. No phone calls. No visits.   I really felt like a worthless person that no one was willing to take the time to come and visit me or at least call!!!  And when I needed a ride home- it seems everyone decided to hide.    How's that for people who suppose to be your friends?  

The hot showers at the hospital were wonderful!!!!  omg!! they were great.   but the food was just plain disguisting.  The nurses -well most of them were ok but quite a few were just plain "lame" (well I have a better word but won't say it). I would like to use the word "ignorant" too. as I had developed these rashes on my hips - I can see them plain as day but the one nurse was blind as a bat!  "I don't see anything there." 

are you kidding? lol 

Yesterday, I learned from the doctor before taking out the staples that one of my tumours was beginning to turn into cancer.   She told me if we had not taken everything out I would had ended up with cancer and that would had not been good.  So thank the Lord for this surgery.  Saved by a turmour. 

Anyhow, I'm home.  I'm still very sore.  Its hurts to turn over in bed. I'm having to eat soft foods as i am finding blood in my stools now.  I had to drive myself to the doctors yestereday because again "friends" were not willing or available.  And that was a painful experience.  Very painful. 

well I'm trying to catch up on my soaps as One Life to Life has been really good lately.  My cat has missed me and won't leave my side. lol she so cute.  even Tim is laughing about it.  He's glad to have me home too. 

I'll get back to tell you all more later!! Have a good day (or week!)

Safe hugz!
