Recovery has been long. I developed an ileus and was discharged at day 7 assuming it had healed. Within hours at home I was vomiting uncontrollably. I was readmitted and am now on day 12 at the hospital. Erg.
I feel guilty for complaining. I had clear margins. I am so thankful.
However I am so ready to be home. I miss my family and I miss taking care of myself. My back is constantly aching. I had 3400 ml output yesterday - one extreme to another. Can't get sleep and have increasing anxiety.
Vent over. Thanks for listening.
