dreambeliever128,
i can't imagine what you went through after the surgery. a year to heal and you are still experiencing pains. I'm so sorry to hear that.
thanks for the kind words. she is still in the hospital and not getting much better. it's very frustrating because all the doctors aren't really reviewing her chart and talking amongst themselves. she's got 6 docs ranging from infectious disease to psych to neuro to general surgery. her mental state has not improved and she has developed a second blood infection from her pic line. we are trying to meet w/the docs this week to review her case.
again, thank you for posting and I hope you are feeling better these days.

It sounds to me like she has more going on then they are finding. After my gallbladder surgery, I most likely would have died if it hadn't been for my PCP. I couldn't get well from it. He even said he'd never seen anyone have such a hard time with gallbladder surgery as I had.
I also had the gallstones that had to be removed. I now have a pain in my right side if I stand up too long and they can't figure out what it is.
I would definatly say she is having mental issues dealing with the surgery. Depression sets in and people can't fight it at times.
I hope they do find out what is going on with her soon.
Welcome to the group.
