What are you waiting for?
Sorry it has been soo long since I have blogged.. i have been so sick lately and i'm still in the hospital.. 2 days ago was the first day in a week and a half that i have finally kept solid food and more then sprite in my system.. otherwise i would throw up a few times a day.. and we figured out it was one of the antibiotics they were givin me that was making me so sick cuz everytime they would hang it which was 3 times a day i would get very nautious and then start throwing up and i'd throw up quite a few times the whole hour the antibiotic was goin through my system and they would still give me stuff for the nausia the oral pain pills and the iv pain pills too. and i'd still be throwing up and i wouldnt be able to eat a thing or drink anything not even water the only thing i could drink was sprite that would actually stay in my system.. and all of that started last wednesday and went all the way to today since they also had me taking potassium pills the whole time also anywhere from 1 to 3 a day.... Tuesday was the first day I actually ate some ice cream and toast a few times and kept it down without puking it up.. I still have been a little nautious once and a while today but at least everything stayed in me yesterday and today.. then they are starting to take me off of the nutrience and lipids which was the protien and iron and other stuff like that and then the lipids which is fats cuz i didnt have any fat in my system so that way things would heal better... But they finally got everything under control for now at least but i will be on the iv antibiotics for a few more weeks it sounds like ,but everything is a pinkish red color and there is finally blood flow to all of my sores and 1 of them is actually healed up all the way so thats nice.. but I have calmed down on the pain meds i'm just taking the iv and oral pain meds before each dressing change now and once and a great while I will take one between ,but its so strong they usually last till the next dressing change... 2 1/2 weeks ago they had to take my other picc line out cuz it was clotted and they couldnt get blood out of it cuz it was so clogged so they put in an central line in my chest right below my collar bone and so they could get cultures of it to see if anything was growing in it.. and put in a picc line again to culture it cuz they think it may have been infected in the line part of it ,but we will not know for a few days yet. The central line being taken out kinda hurt because the doctor had the 8 stitches in there so tight that they had to cut them out and I had to lay completely flat on my back for 1 hour after they had it taken out and they had to hold pressure on it for 5 minutes so it didn’t clot up or get any air bubbles in it. There is a few people here that specialize on putting picc lines in cuz they have to go so deep into the vein and so far in that they have to be good at not hitting ur lungs or anything so things don’t happen.. Well the 1 lady that always has put them in for me tried yesterday in my right arm since there was still some discoloration in my arm from the last time and the first time I could feel it getting threaded through so that hurt pretty bad.. So, I gave her a second chance well she got it so far in the second time and then I was pretty much in tears cuz I was in so much pain cuz it was hurting that bad.. So, she found a brand new vein still for the 3rd time in my right arm between the elbow and shoulder ,but farther up on the top of my arm so I let her try to get it in and we got the numbing meds in me again and then she started to get it in so far and then that one ended up hurting so bad and by this time I was cryin soo much cuz I was in so much pain that they took me down to interventional radiology about 6:45 pm that night so the radiologist could use his scans and x-rays to make sure its in the right area. So, the whole time he was doing it on this big computer screen on the tv you could see inside my arm inside watching the vein and where it goes and it was just an x-ray that went over the top of me and it was so far up that he could move it around still the whole time he was doing it to see what was blocking everything.. So, where he finally tried where the vein was pretty good was down on my right arm on the inside closer to my elbow.. Well they were looking around in the vein and everything and figure out the reason they were getting stuck in that one area was cuz my vein splits in 2.. The top half of the vein goes up and gets bigger and the bottom half goes down and gets smaller ,but he got it threw ther cuz he went around that area by going threw that vein and then going threw the vein on top if it and then after the vein that split went back together then he went back down into that vein and finally got it all the way in ,but I ended up getting poked 11 times all together yesterday by the time they finally got the picc line in and that’s not from including the blood cultures they took.. They are goin to take me off some of the antiobiotics this week and just watch it to see if it still does good or starts to get bad cuz if it even changes 1 time for the bad they will put me back on all the antibiotics again but they think some of the reason I’m getting all these fevers is cuz of the central line cuz they only last about 3 weeks and its been in about 4.. The last fever I had about 3 days ago was 103.6 again so they culture everything if its over 101 which irritates me cuz they have to draw blood from both arms then lol.. but at least each day I’m holding down more and more food and other stuff.. and they took me off some of the antibiotics yesterday woo hooo… But the doctor is very happy with all the sores cuz they are finally healing and the one behind my left knee is finally all the way healed and the one on my right thigh area that was pretty small is finally healed to ,but its in the crease of my leg and thigh that way it will stay shut and they finally have all the stitches out... and then the big one on the back of my thigh is smaller but still very sore and u can still see my hamstring muscle ,but u can also see where it has healed behind the muscle and its finally covered up the bone and now we are just waiting for it to cover up the muscle so that way it wont hurt so bad cuz its right behind the muscle on the bottom where they are still packing it with 1 curlex roll that it still hurts at times especially if u hit the sore just right and push as hard as someone can which some of them do ,but at least its all healing.... But everything is still healing very well just not sure when i'll get out yet ,but i'm around so if u need or want me just leave me a message on here or on yim and i'll get to it..
Love and Miss all my friends and family! Ashley
