Home, bathed and resting now an official Homerton LOSER

[petshell]

Hi,
I finally got home today -much longer than I had expected or wanted. Initially it was because the 2ns day was on a weekend and the appopriate people to discharge were not around.
Then my blood resuls came back as severely abnormal signifying inflammation and infection. I was gutted cause I couldnt come home yesterday.

My lower lobe of my left function has an infection (likely post op complication) so I was started on more antibiotics.
inally today my levels came back still through the ceiling but not as high as previous ones so they let me come out.
I have been lucky, minimal pain, no nausea or vomiting on hospital soup and jelly day after surgery.
Unfortunately my cannular cause a recurrence of my carpel tunnel syndrome and i had not real feeling in my hand for 48 hours which meant no grip and no strength. Luckily this returned shortly after the cannular was removed. I do still have an inflammed red, hot sore arm from where the cannular was. But that is manageable.
I havent felt hunger pains and only time i have heard rumbling is with cold water!
I am so glad to be home.
The Homerton was a mixed bag. Th baraitric team were excellent as were some of the nursing team. Unfortunaely alot did not have a clue about treatment progression........ I was lucky to meet the ward sister who was spot on! Probably cause she had the gastric bypass herself in November and has lost 31kg and looking good!

Anyhow, I am about to have my first coffee since last Thursday so I am off.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT

thank you everyone.
I am feeling pretty good, just the feeling that i have been kicked in the lower left side rib cage and stomach by a horse! GUESS THAT IS NORMAL haha.
I had a blinder of a headache today and instantly new it was because i had not havd near enuff fluids the past couple of days so have been sipping lots.
went to tesco with hubby and did some shopping - all that food and none for me except soups and sugar free crusha!

My only whinge is that i cant get comfortable at night so am not sleepnig brilliantly. However, I knew that was gonna be a problem x

Anyhow again thanks for you supprot and encouraging words xx
