Sick Of Being Sick

This is Janessa updating my Moms blog (I'm pretty much just typing what she's saying! (:) This week Mom had visits from home care nurses, and physical/occupational therapy. She has to report every single little pain or problem, so because of that, she had to go to the UofU hospital, Thursday to have her drains checked. One of the two had slowed down to almost nothing. Friday, she had to go back to Huntsman for a CT scan. Even though she hasn't had anything to eat or drink since APRIL 30TH!, she had to drink a bottle of contrast (ICK). Even though it still felt good to have SOMETHING cold and wet to drink she was afraid she'd be sick if she drank it all. The scan showed that the lower abodomen is clear and the pancreas looked "pristine", but it also showed a little pocket of fluid under her surgery incision. So it was back to the U (Lindsey pushed Mom in a wheelchair in the tunnels from the Hunstman to the U) to take out the drain that was empty and put in a new one for the new pocket of fluid. Dr. Hwo, who originally put in the drains, took the time to see Mom late Friday afternoon. Mom and Lindsey were constantly amazed that the team of doctors always seemed to find them, even in waiting rooms and exam rooms! They think a red light must go off somewhere to let them know Moms back in the building. The new incision from the drain hurts, so its making Mom frustrated. She is very sick of being sick. She mostly feels tired and weak. She might get to have real food on Wednesday, and goes back to see the surgeon on Friday. She's greatful for all the family help and prayers. We'll try to update later in the week!
