Still in the hospital..
 
following my "outpatient" surgery last Mon. I was prepared to stay over 1 nite if I feel good afterwards...not 6 nites:(

My breathing didn't crash too hard, thankfully, but the rest of my muscles weren't too happy about the ordeal (for a day or so I could barely move my legs)...and it hurt alot more than was advertised...it felt like I was in labor the first few days.

Now the pain is much better and I was able to walk with a walker ~20ft. At least I'm making progress--just too slow for my liking.

Is this typical for MG?

I'm just really ****** off to be knocked down this low again

I'm probably going to miss my GI/swallowing appoint at Hopkins this Wed...I don't think I will be up for the trip by then.

Sorry you've been in the hospital!!! :eek:

Glad you are at least noticing some progress.

Good luck and be well, little eeyore donkey. :hug:

(Use those hind legs when they're not treating you right!) :rolleyes:

Clogged again
 
The new J-tube got clogged last nite...I don't know what they are going to do now..apparently since it was just placed it can't be easily unclogged

Needless to say I'm, a little depressed

I am so so sorry your going through so much. I am praying for you that this will be over soon and you'll feel better. Is it possible if your still in the hospital that they can do your GI test there?

:hug:

Hope you are feeling better today! I miss you!
 
Hey there! I just read your post.....I'm so sorry to hear you've been through such an ordeal......I just don't understand why they can't give you a diagnosis and treat you.......You've had such a hard time:(....I still pray for you all the time). What (if anything) are the docs saying? Have they given you any indication that you are anywhere NEAR a proper diagnosis and course of treatment? What meds do they have you on? How are your kids/hubby taking this? Do you have anyone staying with you at the hospital? Have you finally found a decent neuro? I've really been worried about you and think/pray for you all the time. You've been so brave through all of this. Hang in there and when you feel like it let me know how you are!
