Hi friends!
Where do I begin? It has been quite a while since I last updated. I got to come home from the hospital the day I last posted. My tubes are doing great! My J tube has healed nicely. I had my last post op on the 12th and my surgeon was very pleased. I’m supposed to get my J tube swapped out sometime the beginning of September so I can get the kind of tube I normally use that’s more comfy. I have my post op GI appointment for my G tube scheduled on August 10th. At that point I should be able to go ahead and schedule to get it swapped out via endoscopy so I can get a tube with a balloon instead of this one which just has a disc inside. They can’t remove it with traction (the 1, 2, 3, yank method) because of my EDS joints so they have to go in with the scope, cut the tube, and bring the disc out through my mouth before placing a balloon tube.
Last Monday evening I started not feeling well and by Tuesday I had a fever and was pretty miserable. I did a Covid test Wednesday morning and was positive. It has been rough and it still is so I’d really appreciate your prayers for me and my family as they’re following suit and catching it one by one. The pain in the everywhere, the cough, and the complete exhaustion are the worst. My muscles are so utterly fatigued that even simply breathing feels like a workout. To walk across the house I get so out of breath like I ran a mile. Might I add it’s very odd not being able to smell anything and barely taste certain things. I never accurately imagined it until it happened to me. It’s just totally strange.
I greatly appreciate your prayers and support! Thank you for your continued encouragement!
Taking Life One Day With Covid at a Time....
