What a trying few weeks this has been 
. There are just times I feel I can't win for losing!
I just spent 16 long days in the hospital and feel spent. My body just decided to shut down on me. Earlier in December I had a bout of Crohn's disease and spent a couple of nights in the hospital and thought I was set. Disney decided on a few 12 hour days for me and my heart didn't like it.
Fortunately, I did not spend Christmas in the hospital like last year! On the 27th I was having a lot of SOB and you could hear my breathing a mile a way. So I was whisked away to the ER. CHF no big deal a little lasix and I'm over it right? Wrong, my body went nuts I got severe abdominal pain, neasea, vomitting. I told the Docs. about the Crohn's and they did all the test but really didn't see anything. So I spent five days that I really don't remember in so much pain that they just kept me drugged. Finally, my GI said they needed to do laproscopic surgery and see what was going on. I was a bit nervous about it but they called all of my docs and they said it was fine. Unfrotunately, the surgeon didn't want to touch me so that took a couple of days of convincing.
He finally did the surgery on Wednesday and they found a huge hernia he said it was the largest one he had ever seen in someone my age. Just gotta be different I guess! He said that my intestines were getting caught and that was causing the pain. He also said I had some lesions that had to be removed. It helped my symptoms out a great deal! While I was recovering though they try to get you up as soon as possible and as everyone knows I'm the overachiever so I though I would do more and I paid for that one too. I ended up getting chest pain and SOB again and the enzymes skyrocketed and got to stay a few more days for more testing.
Well, I got released last night and am still in pain and of course school starts today. Wish me luck. I hope this year starts off a little bit better now!
