All the Doctors and nurses warned me that my recovery would be like a roller coaster ride and I would have good and bad days. Well, this week was a bad week. On Tuesday I had an endoscopy procedure to remove a stint they put in my bile duct to keep it open so bile would flow freely. The procedure went great but on Wednesday I had a very bad day. I started to spike a fever and was very nauseous. I also was very emotional and had my first pity party for myself, I asked God....WHY ME?????
Luckily my pity party ended on Thursday and I think the nausea was caused by the antibiotics (cipro) they started me on for my endoscopy. During my clinic visit yesterday they gave me anti-nausea meds (compazine) and boy....that is a magical wonder drug. I am feeling back to almost normal. My fever and nausea did make my Doctor order a crap load of tests but they have all came back normal and we are just waiting for one more that should be back on Monday.
This minor set back is keeping me in SF for another week but I am okay with that. My transplant team and CPMC is my new comfort zone so I am actually nervous to leave SF. I think that it is also hitting me that I have my angels organ in my body so I see some therapy in my future.
Thanks for all the comments, well wishes, and prayers. It truly lifts me up.
I am brought to tears, for both what you have survived and the angels that have most certainly scooped you up in their care. I am praying for you also Natasha. Take care and get stronger and stronger every day! Big Hugs....

I'm here for you, any time you want to have a pity party. :) Hang in there, things will get better.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing.....I think I would be having a pity party EVERYday. You are entitled, but the fact that you are able to stay so positive is truly inspiring!
