Sorry for the delay with my reply, been focusing on recovering (still in hospital). Carmen - I feel like it will also take me few weeks to get some energy back, it's was definitely a harder surgery and recovery so at compared to my bowel and ovary resection last year. Karguy - there will be zero house work I'll be doing haha. My partner has just returned from where he works interstate in the mines, I have given him strict instructions he will be in charge of all house cleanin for the next month haha. Kiwi - I haven't had any further problems with the lungs (touch wood), but I had to have a stent inserted the other day as my body fluids were draining too much and also not standard colour they expect to see. So to prevent leakage internally I had no choice but to have that done, so I will need to revisit the hospital in 6 weeks to have it removed. I just hope it doesn't stall starting chemo for too much longer. I've had an awful pain since having the stent inserted, I don't think it's related but more of a coincidence because the pain located liver region right next to upper rib cage (hope that made sense), but the pain has just gotten worse in the last 12 hours,a it's a mixture of shooting sharp pains and a then a permanent sharp pain almost like a sensation like something is going to pop. It's concerning, I'm waiting to see surgeons team this morning and hopefully get some answers but I guess an ultra sound would only really give me peace of mind because not only is there pain but also surrounding my incision it has been very raised, almost like I have a pole inserted under skin, but in a small section of this area it has tripled in size, turned more into a rounder shape and hard like a rock
so praying its nothing! I was aiming to Go home tomorrow so I really hope this doesn't hold me back! I was meant to be seen by the team dr last night but none of the nurses chased it up cause they were too busy sleeping (yes actually sleeping), but the patient care I have rec. within the last week is a whole different discussion lol, let's just say a formal complaint is being made I am that angry!
