It is now 3 weeks in the hospital for me. I had my stomach surgery 16 days ago and so far, the bypass hasnt taken. My surgeon is now officially concerned. I had a round of xrays today. They have decided that the tumor is still blocking and I need a stomach stent. I will get this on Friday and we will now after 3 days if this worked.. I am still throwing up regularly, but now there is more blood. I still have a nose drain and am still on iv nutrician. I havent pooped in 3 weeks and am uncomfortably bloated. They are trying to work on this, but the best medicines are oral and I cant have those so it is a very slow program getting my bowels up and running.
My parents are here. They leave on Monday. We have all just been hanging around the hospital watching tv. Last night mom and I had the conversation about my eventual passing. Not a great conversation to have with ones mother. Many tears, but also some warm smiles.
Keep us in your thoughts.
