glad you are home, Roo, we really missed you. what the heck, how did this happen to hour hand? ??
Not sure. Could have happened during surgery or during the 5 days I was out cold. I can move my fingers, but I have no feeling except pins and needles and burning. It's weird. When I told my surgeon he said I don't have the typical neuropathy that follows surgery and I said, leave it to me to be atypical...and he gave me the hand lmao. I think I made him work really hard for his money, but he is also a caring guy and came to check up on me every couple of days.
I'm still not sure which memories are real and which memories were part of delusions....maybe I will never know?! I do know that I scared the shit out of my husband. I also know that whilst I was out for the duration my fever was dangerously high and whilst he was there he put cool clothes on my forehead. I have an amazing life partner, love him ta bits!
If you guys could see how I am typing, you would laugh. My right hand works fine, but the only finger that works on my left is my pinky....I have a gimp hand
Doesn't seem to be improving at all, but I am still hopeful that one day I will wake up and it will be ok.
I'm also a lot weaker than I expected. I'm bed bound at the moment and getting to the loo 5 feet away is a challenge. I have never been this immobile before, even at my highest weight and tbh it is kinda terrifying. Today is my first full day home so I am just resting, but tomorrow I want to start walking to the door and back a few times as I cannot imagine watching life pass by from a bed.
Eating is going well. My sleeve shrunk after 2.5 weeks not eating, so thats nice
I was on TPN through a central line for most of the time. Todays protein total will be 120g which isn't bad for 3 weeks out
I tossed the dissolvable multivits as I just couldn't drink anymore and took 2 multi's for now. I need to organise what I have but hopefully this new out, the 2 multis will suffice for a couple of days.
I can't believe I'm still here after all the hoohaa! I did try to tell everyone I thought it was going to go pear shaped but no one would listen....oh well, I lived and that's all that matters
Sorry if there are lots of mistakes in this post....still getting used to gimp hand
