Hi everyone,
I guess I was so sleep deprived I guess I missed getting the post ready for you. I never would have known it if Joy hadn’t emailed me. She told me you all just started chattering on yesterday’s post. Thanks everyone.
I’ll just give you a short update… my hubby is on day 16 in the hospital…on the 5th day, being taken by ambulance to St. Louis.
His bowel blockage wasn’t actually that… it was cancer…it was so bad they had to remove his stoma and ureters because it was all tangled in the scar tissue and adhesions. The big mass was connected to part of his large intestines so he had that piece cut out and the two ends sewn back together. Since he has no stoma and ostomy bag, he will have to keep the Nephrostomy tubes in his back for the rest of his life.
His surgery was supposed to be 2 hours long… it ended up bring 7.
He had a scary episode 2 nights ago where his blood pressure started dropping quickly and the resident just happened to catch it. They were throwing meds to her and she was connecting them to his pic line… it was a bit crazy for a few moments. She got the meds in just in time… his blood pressure dropped to 40 over 20… she turned and looked at me and said, “your husband is not gonna die tonight!”
He has a whole entourage of tubes and drain bags and 7 machines that are attached to him. He just was helped to the chair…
Well that’s enough for now…
Now… for todays question:
You have to choose 5 clothing items to wear for the rest of your life…what are they?
I’ll see you tomorrow,
Love you all, Jeanne
