Back in the ER

Well for the past 2 days ive been having more lower abdominal pain and more watery D. So the pain was getting worse so i gave in and went to the er. They did another ct scan. Apparently my appendix is twice the normal size. And i might have cdiff from taking antibiotics for a perianal abscess. The surgeon is discussing what the plan will be.

Good news is they found out before it ruptured. That would be devastating. Feel better soon.

I hope all goes well! You'll be in my thoughts!

Sending you healing thoughts. Hope you feel better soon :)

I finally came home from the hospital today. My biggest. Concern now is i cant poop. Ive put on 9 pounds of poop. I seriously look 6 months prego. When i did finally pass something i buzzed for the nurse. She buzzed the dr. It was all white. So they did a blood test to check my liver function. It was fine. Apparently all i can pass is mucus. Which isnt good either. That means theres a lot of inflammation. They want me to see my gi dr in a week. I called them for an appt and theres nothing available before halloween. The dr put me on supposirories miralax collace and milk of magnesia. When the dam breaks i might not make it to the bathroom in time.

Drink hot low sodium chicken broth warm liquids make the bowels move . Also try laying on your left side knees bent with a pillow between your knees for comfort that is how they position you after a colonoscopy to move air / feces in the bowel .

I'm glad to be home from the hospital. even tho with 9 kids and 4 adults I'm not getting much rest. they just took out my appendix. however the ti is inflamed as well. they wanna try different maintenance meds for the inflammation. I will try again to get in touch with my gi dr tomorrow. I'm really concerned about the incision sites. they are swollen and purplish red. warm to touch and very itchy. theres a large know below/above one place. oh and I'm finally able to poop. ive lost 10 pounds since ive been home. today I passed a large amount of mucus again. as far as my perianal abscess its improved a lot. dodged surgery on that this time.

well i finally got in touch with the surgery team that i had last week. I told them about how my incision looks. They said i have to go in thru the er since the next available time in clinic is Friday. I also called my gi about the followup on the perianal abscess. I was suppose to see my gi dr in 2 weeks. Well they said the earliest i can be seen is the end of october. Well since my ti is inflammed. Ive had the abscess and now a possible infection from surgery(there is a 2 inch knot under the area of the incision site...abscess?). They were talking about switching my maintenance meds. Well if i have to wait til october to be seen i will probably be back in the hospital. I got my referal in to a different gi clinic. Who knows how long it will take to see the new dr. I guess in the meantime i will just keep going to the er.

Well i just spent 24 hrs in the er. They gave me iv dilaudid. Which really helped me with the pain but didnt last long. The surgeon looked at my incision site then sent me for an mri. Good news is its not an abscess. But it is a surgical hemotoma. Its the size of a 2 inch ball. Extremely painful. Over time my body will reabsorb the blood. They actually gave me a prescription for dilaudid.
