Wow, you've lost a lot of weight, man. :(

ETA: I don't ever think I've seen your face before. You're super handsome.

He's lost a lot of weight from a year or two ago, but he's apparently gained a nice little chunk of it back from where he was just a few weeks ago. I'm impressed and pleased that he looks so much better, especially just hours after surgery.

Oh man. :/
 
I only gained back about five pounds but now, ever since they did the endoscopy and put bands on some of the varices I can't eat solid food. Actually it seems to be really bad with animal products. I threw up the other day after a couple of bites of roast turkey and this morning a few bites of scrambled eggs has me all messed up.
 
Dammit, Bett.

The girls are going to have to develop the Sick Sir cookbook just for you.
 
Dammit, stop getting sick. ><

I've gotten too used to seeing good posts from the strong-arm avatar for it to disappear from the forum. >_>
 
LOL The joys of pain meds. He was doing better of last night, but I had no internet connection, so I'm glad he posted for you all. lol

His faeries, btw, were texting me. They're not so great of spellers, but they said he was singing about how pretty, witty, and gay he feels.

Yeah, the lil imps scampered off with my cell phone while I was asleep.

I would have been home already but that from one of my blood cultures they managed to grow fungus, one of the candida strains. Since it's a blood infection I guess it's pretty bad and they're keeping me at least thru the weekend and I'm on this antifungal i.v. med that's pretty scary stuff. It's called amphotericin b liposome for all of you nurse types.

They're waiting for the lab to determine what strain of the candida I have. Maybe I'm harboring some sort of new military grade bio-weapon.

On the downside I've been getting the hiccups.
On the upside, I'm finally beginning to feel healthy as in normal like I did before I got so sick in February.

Never-failed (yet) trick to getting rid of them.
Swallow (not drink anything, just build up saliva and swallow) as many times as you can without hiccuping between swallows. Never takes me more than four.
 
I'm mostly tired and annoyed now. For some reason these assholes wake me up all thru the night while I'm attempting to sleep. Sometimes to take blood, sometimes to take the vitals. Except this morning at 3am some nurses helper wakes me up to ask if I've taken a shit. WTF??? I'm fucking sleeping you asshole.

I hear that. I can't sleep in hospitals, and when I do, they wake me up.
 
Glad you are starting to feel better!

*HUG*

OMG! I know! They are always waking one up. WTF indeed!

For some reason there is a vast amount of reassurance in this. ;)

Hope you're up and about and home soon.

I know, it's maddening. But, if you've got some serious infection, they need to do vitals prolly 'round the clock - like every 2-4 hours right? Cuz yanno, what if you're sleeping, and they don't check on you, and then something bad happens? :eek:

When was the last time you moved your bowels anyway?:rolleyes:
