JFSinIL Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It has been the most painful, gross week so far, post May 25 car crash. Entered hospital last week for colonoscopy then reconstructive surgery next day ( reattach colon, get rid of two hernias and lots of scar tissue...plus appendix as long as doc was poking around in my innards) . I am so OVER feeling like cr@p and was so fed up I posted a video from my hospital room to fb as an injured Mom advising young drivers what can happen when they take their eyes off the road. If I knew how to post it here or to youtube I would. Anyway, trolling for sympathy here. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Mousie Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm glad you posted this, JFS. I'd been thinking of you. It has been such a long, hard slog. :grouphug: I wish the recovery didn't have to be so rough ... but I am so relieved to know you are recovering. Is this surgery the last of it, do you think? So maybe by the new year you'll have all systems go? Very best wishes to you and your family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sheesh, I spent 3 days in the hospital this time last year and I'm still whining. My case was a tea party compared to what you've gone through. Gripe away! If anyone has earned it you have and it it makes even one person think twice before texting behind the wheel it's a GOOD thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Ah, thank you all so much! I more than "like" each of your posts. I hope this is the last surgery ( car crashes are the gift that keep on giving, grrr) but there may be more future ones, depending on if scar tissue crops up to cause problems. Doctor said she did remove a lot that was holding a few organs together in a scarry mass ( urg-tmi). Meanwhile my put back together colon is remembering its job. But recovery time is apparently a bigger, longer deal than my previous c-sections, which has been an unpleasant surprise. Hubby had a screw in his ankle replaced with a flexible screw a couple weeks ago and is trying to be patient as it still hurts him a lot to bear weight, and he thought he'd be walking, driving by now. He may need more work on his left thumb, too. Wrist is healed, but thumb won't bend as it should so hard to grasp things. Sigh. Meanwhile, insurance finally agreed to pay out of network providers....but instead of at in network rate, which has been the law up to now, they say they only have to pay at Medicare rate. Which is a lot less! Like, only forty thousand out close to three hundred thousand for one hospital! Hubby is furious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel-in-CA Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I only had the colonoscopy and I was trolling for sympathy and volunteers to help with housework. I am sorry you have had to have so much done as a result of somebody's bad choices. But I have to say, it's better to be in the hospital bed now than 100 or 200 years ago. (We've been reading about the Civil War and the state of medicine at the time, to give you the context.) Praying you feel better bit by bit every day and that you can see the progress.
