Guess I'd better update this so you do't think I'm still sitting in the hospital somewhere.

Trish and I arrived at the hospital Friday at 8 AM. And no, I did not want to get up so I could go back to sleep, but I did it anyway. I was in the OR by 10:30. The next thing I knew I was in recovery and it was 2:00. Where did all the time go????  The surgeon came in and told me that getting the old line out was no problem at all, but getting the new line in was very challenging. This was my 16th line in 20 yrs. The problem is the available sites is limited and they are getting scarred. It doesn't help that the 2 lines before this one fell out on their own.

OK back to the hospital. Did I mention that this procedure was supposed to take about 1 hr and this was my 2nd day at it.

I had a hard time waking up from surgery. Finally the nurse made me get dressed and sit in a chair. It was 5:00 and she wanted to go home. I called Becky to come get me when I got out and thought I'd be about ready when she got there. Wrong. The poor girl had to sit and wait for over 2 1/2 hrs.

I got my phone right out of surgery to report to Mike. I had a message from my supply company. I had had to order 2 more TPN to be shipped to Trish since I had to stay longer. The TPN did not arrive. Somehow my supply company was able to track down Trish's phone number and Trish even answered her phone. She NEVER answers her home phone. The supply company had written down the address incorrectly. Trish gave them the correct address. The 2 UPS drivers made arrangements to meet up and trade the goods and get them delivered. The only problem is that Trish was on her way on their weekend trip. So Trish made arrangements with her neighbors to watch for my pkg and pick it up for us.

I called Trish as we left the hospital. No shipment yet. So we headed south to Becky's house. We had only gone about 5 minutes and Trish called that her neighbor had picked up my pks. So we turned around and got it. End of that whole fiasco. It was my 1 week early Friday the 13th. Hopefully I am good for at least another 4 yrs.

I was very sleepy Sat. I got up to get ready to go home and went back to bed. I finally came out of my coma in the early afternoon and drove home. Then I spent the next couple of days in bed. It really took a lot out of me. Don't want to do that again any time soon.

Mike and I  are heading to Utah again tomorrow. It has just been so long since I have been there. I plan to have more fun this time. Jeff and Heidi's open house is tomorrow and I see drs on Tues and Thur (none of them have anything to do with TPN or IV lines). And then hopefully lots of play in between.
