RE: Hey Bug , GoodMorning!!!

[Guest guest]

How is it going today Sunday?

I can identify with going nuts in the hospital. I was really Ill and

can't remember too much of the first 7 days. My appendix busted at

home and the local small town hospital kept me for 8 hours before

sending me to my MITO Dr. Hospital in Boston.I kept telling them to

but they would not listen.

My Mito DR. finally convinced them I needed to be with him to have

the surgery. It was nuts. Got to the local hospital at 8:50am and

at 6:30pm they sent me to Boston 30 miles away where my Dr. was. I

didn't get out of recovery until 2am and a bed in Acute CARE around

3am or something. On the third day I spiked a fever of 104.3 or

something. Bad infection. They took the staples out and did a wet

to dry (heal from the inside out) which as a mito person I didn't

think the hole would ever close. LOL. It still has not closed

completly. Surgery was Sunday October 26th, 2004. It's March. LOL

Yeah, needles. I had so many and IV's that I could not wash my arms

for at least a month with all the bruses. I got c-diff while in the

hospital. Very Contagous intestine germ. I lost 21 pounds by the

time I got home. Then the visiting nurses. OMG. LOL. It was the

biggest nightmare of my life. So now when I hear hospital,

EEEEKKKKKKKK.

Thats why I wanted to say HEY, hang in there. I am so glad your

home. With my brain damage from the stroke 5 years ago I didn't even

know I was home. My sister said I kept walking around slowly and

saying I LIVE HERE? Over and over. Had night mares for about 6

weeks. I am just now coming around to feeling a bit better. 30% of

accute apendix cases live. That third night when I spiked the fever

I knew it was over for me. I said my prayers to God to take me

home. Then I remember starting to laugh talking to God outloud and

saying: After all I have gone through, the stroke,cogintive therapy

for 9 months 5 days a week, six hours a day, then finding out MITO

caused Stroke, then dealing with MITO ect....your taking me out with

accute appendix.

I found this really funny. Well I lived , don't understand

why????? More will be revealed I suppose.

Hope you have lots of people to help you HEAL. Lots of Love to

surround you, and good naps and rest. I pray you sleep with the

angels everynight. Peaceful Healing Sleep.

Guess I am not over my 17 day stay or I would not have written so

much. Thanks for reading. It is healing to be valadated.I still

don't spell well. Sorry. Take Good CARE.

Peace, KimGo'sWithFeathers

Kim,

I was reading your note to Bug and I just wanted to say that through

everything you've been through - you managed to maintain your great

sense of humor.

It sounds like you're a survivor. Despite the odds, you've not only

survived, but survived more in tact than you probably know. I have

a feeling that given time, you'll be seeing more of your old self

returning.

Take care,

Maggie

Wow Kim what an adventure you've been on ! The one thing that Mito

and Lupus have taught me is patience. Just getting a dx was one of

the longest roads I've traveled. This is just another road and I'm

hoping there is a nice bench to sit on at the end Today I felt

like I had a little more energy...good to be back on the Q10 since

the hospital can't get it. Wish the breathing was better but I

understand it can take quite a while. I appreciate the prayers.

Hugs,
