Becky, I am so sorry that you are going through all of this, especially when it could have been prevented.  Gail is right, you need to take this time to recover.  As always I am praying for you and think of you all the time.  Love ya, Kasie

Becky,

Part of being a good co-community leader is taking a break when you need it.  And by all accounts, you had to have it!  There is not a thing here you should worry yourself with.  We all want you to heal, and feel better as soon as you can.  And thanks to the doc who sent you home sans the correct pain medicine, it just got harder.  So take care of you, and check in when you can.  We know you are working on getting better as hard as you can.  We continue to keep you in our hearts and prayers.

Just remember you are loved by many on more than one continent.....that means someone, somewhere is always thinking of you.  Pretty amazing.  That means you are never, ever alone.......even when you think you are....you are not.
Peace.

Sounds like you are in good hands.  I hope your recovery goes a bit more smooth from now on, you deserve it!  

Oh, and for not being a good community leader, you have to take a 100% pay cut.  :)

YOU just concerntrate on getting YOU better!
I think your last Dr deserves a piece of your mind when you get to feeling better, HE should know better how to treat some one that is required to take such powerful pain meds!!!!!!!

Becky -  How frustrating, bad enough you have a lot of healing to do, but, when the doctors make it worse by something that is totally avoidable.  So sorry to hear that you are going through all of this.  I know in no time, you will be back to yourself.

Rest, and take care of yourself.
Love,
Pam

Dear Becky,
I can only mirror what Trudie and Colleen have already said, take care of yourself and unfortunately now we've all learned something new.

Becky,
That is horrible what happened and I am sorry that you went through that for basically no reason. You have been through so much and you still come on here and update! You are a wonderful person and shouldn't feel guilty at all. You take care of you, get feeling better for the little guy and rest, rest, rest!!! Hugs, Colleen

Becky, guilt has no place here.  I am so sorry stupid errors have caused you such pain and suffering.  Take care of you and once you're home and feeling better we can't wait to have you back here more.  Hugs, Trudie

Hi everyone....
Thanks for all the concern....I do apologize for my lack of updates - I've been having a really rough time lately. Yes, I'm back in the hospital and I'm not to thrilled about it. When I was in last for those two weeks, I was hooked up to a pain pump of dilauded that would give me round the clock relief. When they discharged me, instead of sending me home on the pump, they abruptley removed me from it and threw me on some long acting pain meds that, I've just learned, were not at all equivolent. They way I learned this? When I came into emerg on Sunday, the doctor explained to me that, much like a heroin addict, I'm going through major withdrawls from stopping the pain meds cold turkey.I've been throwing up, wretching, dry heaving and unable to even look at food or water for days now. I'm so dehydrated and in pain - all the vomitting has been pulling at my still tender abdomen and seriously irritating my stent and nephrostomy tube. I've had fevers, shakes, chills and sweats, all at the same time....it's been hell.
You can imagine how angry I am that I've been so sick with something that was totally preventable. When I came back to the hospital, I was to the point where I was throwing up blood, that's how bad it got. I haven't eaten solid food since Friday and could barely keep water down. I was a little unsure if that's what was really wrong with me - I didn't know you could have withdrawls from pain meds - but as soon as they started me back on the dilauded, I felt instantly better.
I feel so bad that I haven't been on here much - I haven't been a very good co-community leader and I'm really sorry for that. When I did get out of the hospital last, I was so tired and it took so much energy to just sit at my computer desk - my sister did lend me her laptop but again, I barely had the energy to use it.
I promise I'll keep in touch more - at least they have the internet here at my fingertips :) I hope to only be in hospital for a couple of days...the plan is to get me back on the pain pump and then wean me off of it gradually, the way it should have been done the first time.
Thanks again everyone or the concern...
Love Becky xx

I've never visited that site. Is she just in for the draining of ascites or is it still infection going on?

[gah_70]

If you haven't seen it, she posted on her Caring Bridge journal today.  She's back in the hospital but hopes to get out in another day or so.

I know, I am concerned about her progress as well.  I have left her notes on her blog and sent her a get well package today.  I hope she is resting and healing up and at home with her family.

She posted a note on the sidebar about Sept. 18th that she was home but had to go in to have her abdomen drained. I assume it was around the 18th since that's when it showed up and has since scrolled down.
