Hey everyone,
This will be brief because I'm a)on morphine b) in pain and c) typing this from my phone.
I've been in the hospital for two days, there's been complications from the PEG tube placement. Low blood pressure & off electrolytes...but mostly an insane amount of pain...another complication mostly due to an extremely low body weight...long story, more later on that.
I'd say the best part of my week was vomiting a geyser of red contrast dye from the CAT scan. We were in the car all the way to the hospital & I puked all over myself like a 2 year old. End up staggering in with sticky smelly boobies...totally classic Brie, no kidding.
Hoping to go home tomorrow, they're working on managing my pain so that I don't have to be on morphine every 1 - 2 hours. Percocet just ain't cuttin' it yet.
So, yeah. Whoever said that PEG placement surgery was a piece of cake obviously doesn't doesn't know how much my body hates me.

I'm so sorry. That sounds absolutely AWFUL! Hang in there. Sending healing vibes your way....
PS - Gotta love morphine though. :)
seriously! you have GOT to get your body on your team and make it stop working against you! I mean, I can understand how it might be a little angry about the years of abuse... But I think this grudge has gone too far. Feel better soon!
Well, it's in and that's done. Now you can start dealing with what happens next. You're going to heal and be out of there soon. I'm thinking of you! I miss your crazy blogging. =)
Best wishes (and I actually mean it),
Lindsay
