Have I mentioned I still hate Daylight Saving Time?
I’m home and recuperating. This time around is is longer and tougher for…reasons. I don’t remember what I said in my previous update so I’ll sort of start at the beginning of this last round. On, Friday, Feb. 23, I went to what was supposed to be my last appointment with the OBGYN and release. Except things weren’t right. Constant pain, inability to eat or drink, vomiting. He agreed, send me for X-rays with the caveat he migh admit me back into the hospital. We’d been home 25 minutes when he called. After consulting with a general surgeon, they wanted me back in hospital.
Going conservative, they filled me full of IV drips–antibiotics, nutrition, blessed pain killers–with an occasional hit of an opiod. I did not improve. On Monday, the 26th, I was preppoed for surgery. Laprascopy small first, then larger if necessary, then fully opening previous surgical site in needed. I went into the OR about 8 pm and came out just after midnight. Yeah, they had to go major league. Turned out there was an abcess, lesions, and a section of the small intestine that had grown together. The surgeon performed a small resection on that part and pathology reported a second abscess that was all but blocking the intestine. One lesion covered the top part of the colon, another was trying to strangle a part of the small intestine and there were others that had to be excised.
I spent a total of 12 days in the hospital. Including my birthday. The good news is that I’m pain-free. This is a miracle. The bad news is that I’m still have a few minor GI issues. Food remains problematic. My tastes buds are once again borked so that food tastes just a little off and is therefore unappealing. I have to eat to regain strength and energy–both of which is at a premium. Which is why I’m just now getting around to this since I’ve been hom since Monday. A good that tastes normal one day is yucky the next. This too shall pass but man, I am soooo ready to get back to normal. Patience.
Anyway, thanks for all the prayers and good thought and friendship. All is much appreciated. Love and miss you guys!!!! I shall return, just no timeline yet.

Lady,
I was laughing saying I know Silver hates Daylight Savings Time😆😆😆.
Here we are once again, sending Good Vibes your way.❤️❤️❤️
Miss you, but we will be here waiting for your return.
I’m coming back. Too slowly to make me happy but I’ve been warned not to push things so I’m not. But, that said, the “napping chair” has been removed from the bedroom and returned to my office so I have to be at my desk at least part of the day now. LOL I just wish to brain fog would dissapate so the cretive juices would start to flow again. And yeah, STILL hating on DST! LOLOL
Good luck Silver. Get well soon.😊
Thanks. though at this point, soon is a relative term. LOL At least I’m getting there. 🙂

It’s been a slow recovery but I’m getting there. I’m finally at my desk today so a follow-up on the blog and FB tomorrow. Sadly, it’s been so long since I’ve been on thekeyboar, I’m almost having to relearn how to type. 🤣 Thanks so much for caring!
Oh my goodness you have been through so much. I’m very thankful that the doctors didn’t hesitate after the OBGYN appointment.
Your body has been worked over the coals so you need to take it slow and recover at your pace. It’s great that you are no longer in pain and as you said, taste should correct itself soon.
You are still in my prayers several times a day. Hugs!
Oh, I HATE Daylight Saving Time too.
Prayer are always welcome! I’m not 100% yet but I’m over 50% so definite progress. I’m actually in the office today and on the desk top. It’ll take awhile to get back in “shape” but I’m working on it. 💖
Silver, I am still praying for you. I hope they got everything taken care of this time around for your sake. Hugs and healing wishes to you.
Thank you! It’s been a slow and somewhat rocky road but I’m getting there! 💖
