Thank you ALL for your good wishes and prayers, they were so appreciated!

I'm back, my short stay in the hospital turned into 10 whole days! It seems that I was in worse shape than the Doctor had originally thought and I needed to stay longer. The fall I had (down the stairs) only served to complicate things too. I needed a huge hematoma on my right shin, aspirated to relieve some of the pressure but mostly to help avoid any infection that could seriously complicate things. My hemoglobin was 'critically' low and so I received 2 Iron infusions during my stay. Anyway, I'm home, I have a PIC line and TPN nutrition running 24 hours a day until Monday when the TPN will be concentrated and will only run 14 hours daily.

Most of all, thanks to those who emailed my husband for updates, for the prayers and good wishes that were beamed my way. I hope this post makes sense! I'm taking Loratab for pain ( bad pain :( ) and it makes me dopier than usual :)
I'll try to post more in days to come, right now I'm very tired and weak, and will spend a lot of time on the couch.

1. oh my gosh, aA!

you poor thing! you have just been to hell and back over the past 2 weeks! I am so glad to read your update, and find out that you are home now. Thankfully, the doctors were able to address your health issues and put you on your way to complete health. I am sure your levels are being monitored, which is best right now, it sounds like. I am so sorry you are in such pain. Please, please, please take good care of yourself, and let your husband and the doctors dote on you!! Sending you lots of hugs: :hug:

3. I have been thinking about you a lot. Glad you're improving!!

I had sent you a message a couple of weeks ago, and when I didn't get a reply I figured that you were still hospitalized. I'm glad to see now that you're back home. Take it easy and relax until you're back up to par. I'm sure we'll be back in contact soon. Until then you have my best wishes.

5. auntAgonist, i had not stopped by the WeightLoss/Maint. forum in quite a

while, and I am shocked to read this post, for I did not know of your fall, nor of your hospital stay. I am glad to hear that you are doing well (better), at home now, and resting. Prayers beamed your way from me too and for your husband who must have had quite a scare on your landing at the hospital.
