Friday 14th – Emergency surgery
I am sorry I was unable to write before. I am going through so much sometimes I can’t do anything else but cry. On Thursday I was a little better the fever was finally breaking when the Doctor ordered some x-rays…in the afternoon about 1pm he came and told me he had some bad news and I needed to do another surgery within the hour. I had no time to really think about it; because it wasn’t planned I wasn’t given anesthesia meaning I was awake for this surgery. What happened is too much to write but in a nutshell the hip moved out of place and they wanted to place another metal pin to hold to hip bone in tact. This was supposed to be a half hour procedure which was a long 2 hour surgery with 6 Doctors. I will save you the details of the surgery but my temperature went back up after the surgery and I was on IV for the rest of the night.
Today was okay my temperature went down and the nurses came and wash my hair. As for the IV’s when they were sticking the needles for blood today they couldn’t get none and it was difficult so I got away for a while. I lost a lot of blood from yesterday’s surgery so it will take me some time to recuperate from this second surgery. The only thing keeping me going now is I have 9 more days here.
