Out of hospital

jackflash22

After 4 weeks in hospital I'm home. I had a blocked bowel and was dehydrated. I was vomiting internally as my throats blocked and the stomach contents had no where to go. A bag was put on my PEG tube and my stomach drained. It was left on for 10 days. A formula was made for me and I fed through through a vein. I lost 4 kilos in weight. It's great to be home. I had a fantastic sleep last night in my own bed. The doc said I'm fragile so to take it easy, I don't need much persuasion on that. I may have to have major surgery at a later date to remove some of the bowel but because of the throat blockage I'm a high risk patient. I'm due a double endoscopy to try to unblock my throat, I hope they can do it.

No place

There's no place like home.  I am glad that they were able to figure out the problem.  Rest and recover.
