I was supposed to post earlier but I guess I am allowed to fall behind. When I was finally allowed to drink clear liquids I could have these two cups (1 ounce each) in an hour. I would do one each half-hour. I then went to drinking as much as I want and I went a little crazy. Then I was allowed an iced coffee because coffee can help move things. Now today if I can handle solids I get to go home. I did not have an operation or need to do the dye. We are hoping that the new diet and the fact I am cleaned out will help reset my bowel. Fingers crossed. For all who said I keep up a could spirit all the time that isn't actually true because I got upset with the Nurses this morning. I won't bore you with the details. But we have kissed and made up. So I am back to my normal self. But in the hospital not always easy to be a happy patient all the time.
Sorry to read the text. Hospitals are not enjoyable anywhere, especially if they are the patient. But courage and a good book should help you overcome the boredom.
So glad you are going back home soon without any of those icky procedures.
So glad you got cleaned out without too much trouble.
Keep your chin up and your positive attitude. Don't be too hard on yourself for getting angry ... we are all entitled to throw temper tantrums once in a while!
Sorry about the stay in hospital, some years ago Had part of my bowl taken out, I was in hospital for four months and four hops. Keep your chin up as we say in my part of the world.
Be encouraged that surgery wasn`t needed and your are on the way Back. Clever thought with the 1 0z cups. Tiny bits just to tease. You are a real trooper!
You are allowed to be just as you want Joan…..being ill brings on its own pain, worry & stress so we are excused! Glad all seems to be corrected…fingers crossed it stays that way.
You have permission to be just as you feel and the nurses are used to that I'm sure. I do hope things are on the upswing now. I've been thinking about you today. x
Glad to see things are progressing- it's not easy being in the hospital especially for a condition like yours. You're already uncomfortable to begin with and there's not too much comfort in a sterile hospital room. Do the best you can now that you're home and I'll be praying that all stays clear!
So glad you got cleaned out without too much trouble.
Keep your chin up and your positive attitude. Don't be too hard on yourself for getting angry ... we are all entitled to throw temper tantrums once in a while!
