In the hospital

Hi Guys,

Just when you think you can't handle any more stress .. surprise.... I got home from being with John's family late Saturday night.. and I was on my way to church because my Godbaby was being baptised and I got sharp pains in my stomach... I made it to the church and my parents had to take me to the hospital I was in such severe pain...

Turns out I have fibroids in my uterus that are pushing on my intestines and urtherea so I cant go to the bathroom either way.. Then because I had such a bad night of pain they ended up doing a catscan on me and found out I have diviticulites with a microscopic perforation.

RIght now they are not doing surgery on me they are hoping the tear will close up on its own, they are just not letting me eat or drink anything and they are loading me up with antibiotics..

As far as the fibroids.. They are so big and huge that I am going to have to have surgery to have them removed.. They are not worrying about that right now because the infection in the intestines is the priority.

I am blessed to have a great support system but I am truley at my wits end... It just seems so unfair that I can't catch a break...

John's memorial service is on Saturday and I was really hoping to be able to fly back and go to it but that isn't going to happen now... I am stuck in the hospital for the week they said..

Hope everyone is doing well... I have to catch up on posts when I feel better..

I miss chatting with you guys,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer

I am so sorry to hear you are in pain. I hear that is so painful ouch. I feel for you. You are such a nice great lady and you deserve to be healthy. I hope after you heal you can be good to yourself and go away somewhere even if it is for two days. Think of all the things you want to do and then when you are well please do them.

You are such a great friend to your friends and from the sounds of it they love you dearly as well. I am glad that you were able to be there for John when he needed you most. What a blessing you are.
God Bless You
Risa

Okay, I have all sorts of swears coming out of my mouth right now. WHY CAN'T YOUR BODY LEAVE YOU THE <b>HELL</b> (a more obscene word belongs there) ALONE?????????? You need to stop developing new crap right now, or I'm going to... I don't know... get violent.

There is INDEED "a new string of suckiness" here to quote Debbie. And Emily had a good point too. "WHY CAN'T YOUR BODY LEAVE YOU THE HELL (a more obscene word belongs there) ALONE". Its just not fair.

I'm so glad you were able to be with John and his family when they needed you. Get some rest and get your infection taken care of.

I am so sorry to hear this, Jenn. My mom actually just got home from the hospital from having her fibroid tumors removed. She had many, the biggest one of which was the size of a cantaloupe. She was pretty uncomfortable and miserable toward the end too, but feeling so much better now. They had to take her uterus out as well, because so many of the tumors were so intertwined with her uterus that they couldn't separate the two.

I really hope you get well very soon. My mom was in a lot of pain before the surgery and immediately following, but one week post surgery, she is feeling really good! Still limited mobility and some discomfort, but she says it is nothing like before.

Wishing you well, Jenn, and I'm sorry also to hear of your friend John. He sounded like a wonderful person, and I'm sorry for everyone who will be missing him so much.

JENNIFER.......OMG Girl. I dont know what to say. It sucks 10000000000000%! ON a positive note tho at least this happened after you got out to be with John & Jenny. I realize you wanted to be there for the service, but better to miss that then not be there to say goodbye. So is this whole thing just another bodily fluke or is it all connected to meds or something? I do love Emily's way of thinking. Can you trade your body in for a new one? If so make sure you have a bumper to bumper warranty! Hugs/Love/Strength/Friendship to you, Gal!

You know you guys are so amazing.. You never cease to amaze me with the endless support you give to me, no matter what.

This site is just what I needed. and yes I do wish my body would leave me the heck alone.. I have had it.

I don't know my doctors told me that stress doesn't give you diviticulitis but somehow I feel it has to be related... I am on a lot of pain medicine, and I can't have any food or drink.. to give my intestines a chance to heal...

They think each day I will get better and better as far as the intestines go. I am on a lot of antibiotics as well... I am getting good CPT and breathing treatments while I am here... and I have a lot of supportive ppl around me

As far as the fibroids, I did have major surgery for them about 5 years ago, they just grew back. They told me that even if they kept my uterus in, it is going to be useless. I just can't stand it anymore you know? I always in the back of my mind held out hope of having children. (my lifes dream)

Thanks for the thoughts on John, I miss him so much already I can't stand it... If he were here he would be yelling at me to take care of myself and not to take anyones crap.....

I am glad I have my lap top with me though so I can stay in touch with you guys.. They said I will be here for at least a few more days.. and that is if they don't do my surgery on my fibroids now.

I do wish there was a way I could get a new body and brain.. I feel so burnt out.

Thanks again for all your support it means a lot to me

Jennifer

I hate to hear you are having yet another issue with your health and life in general. I hope you start feeling better soon and are able to go home for a bit before you have your surgery. Take care and rest up.

Hope you get to feeling better soon,
Lindsey
