Update- Day 5!

It’s snowing here in cincinnati!! I’m sorry I’ve been slacking on my blog.  Blogger still isn’t letting me upload pictures..

Today I had no appointments…because of the snow, we’ve just been staying indoors at the RMH. I got discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon—so thankful.  All the GI manometry testing made that 3-day inpatient stay really difficult and hard.  Once the nurses pulled out that first NG tube and I was taken to the OR for the procedures two days ago, I woke up from anesthesia with two more tubes in me..  One through my nose again, and you can probably guess where the second tube was inserted..Won’t get results till possibly next Wednesday..  After those two additional tubes were removed yesterday, I had to go through yet another tube insertion through my nose (this time, the manometry catheter was thick, stiff, and metal!).  That was no fun.  I now have a really bad sore throat from all the tubes and being intubated in the OR.  On top of that, I wasn’t allowed to get up from my bed for several hours, so they had me use a bedpan several times…sorry if that’s TMI. Always a first for everything!

Have a great evening!
