My Surgery

[JennifersHope]

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for all your kind and loving words to me.. I will do my best to update some now and I will have to do the rest when I feel better... I feel really sick.....

My surgery went well in and of itself.... It went longer then they thought it was going to go just under 6 hours... They did a total colon resection and myomecytomy.. So I still have my uterus.. which I am thrilled about.

They have however made quite a few errors that if their wasn't nurses that I worked with that new bettter, I probably would have been dead of close to it.. THey made medication error with me when they were putting in my NGtube.. that is the tube that is sucking the stuff out of my belly.. well they post operatively only put it into my mouth and it curled up.. so nothing was draining..t hen they thought they fixed it, but didn't and I slept the next 5- 6 hours wretching from my gut.. popping stiches, and being told that I am fighting the tube and that is why I am vomiting... One of the ER nurses I work with came up to help me got thrown out of the room by the other nurse that was supposedly taking care of me and that is when administration came in.. Orginally they took away my call bell from me.. Needless to say when they realized their mistake they were sorry..but I have thrown up so much blood I needed to be transfused..

Not to mention they forgot about my CF yes, forgot, I didn't get any nebulizers, treatments or CPT since Thursday.. (well they did today) Yesterday a different friend that came to see me saw how hypoxic I was and immediatitly did cPT on my chest to which I coughed up a huge amount of blood from mylungs... If she didn't get this out I don't know what would have happened..

Needless to say.. I am in shock that this happen at the hospital where I work.. if it wasn't for the ER team I would be so screwed I don't know what I would do... I have a lot of anxiety now.. and am afraid to be alone because I don't trust them..They made a lot of medication errors as well to many to talk about now.. but instead of 30 mgs of Pred I was on 300 mgs

All in all I am doing better, I stopped the morphine pump today.. I am so afraid to take anything to make me vomit,, I have gotten up to walk.. I am so afraid of being stuck here that I will do anything to get out of here as fast as I can..

Thanks for listening.. I will try to come back to morrow.. Like I said I am really scared... but doing better.. then I was.. and thank GOd once again that their was people here to help me///


Love

Jennifer

Glad to see you posting Jen! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that h*ll, but I'm glad that in the end you got to keep your uterus, and are slowly on the mend.

Jenn,

I hate that it has been so complicated and there have been so many issues. I am glad that you are okay and starting to make the turn around though. I have been thinking of you often the past few days since your surgery. I hope you continue to see improvement and are able to get home soon.

Also ... Thank God for friends - they truly can be lifesavers

Take Care,
Lindsey

Jennifer- Its you!!!

What an ordeal (yet again?). I think you have had your share of drama by now.

I'm so glad you are recoverying but it is frightening to know how much went wrong. I wonder if you were not a trained nurse, you might not have known soon enough to correct the problems.

Next time you post, I hope you are feeling stronger and ready to go home. My thoughts are with you Jen!

I'm so glad to hear from you and that its over and you are awake-even if you are in pain.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
You shouldn't have to deal with all those errors, that really sucks. Keep your chin up-the worst is over.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and strength.
Just know you are missed and loved!

So glad to hear you are on the road to recovery IN SPITE of the care you are receiving. You are one tough woman. I am sad and horrified that you have received such poor nursing care. It is simply inexcusable. Thank goodness for your friends.

Your next job is to just focus on your recovery, get out of there ASAP and take it easy healing at home. I wish one of us were there to be your cf advocate with the hospital. You must feel ashamed of your hospital. I'll bet when you're recovered you will let the administration know more about your stay!!

Thank goodness your surgery went well. I will keep thinking good thoughts for you!
