Gotta love her regardless!

gggrrrrrr, so monday night lily my spoiled baby cat starts puking everywhere for hours and I notice she isn't eating or going potty, so I was like crap! Tuesday morning still nothing! so i called the vet and I am like is this serious?? they were like maybe it could be, so i fought with her to get her in the carrier for 45 minutes and then off to the vet we went, well, I start to cry once I drop her off and cried the rest of the day hysterically thinking that she's gonna die and has to have major surgery and my mind is going crazy, mom tells me to start thinking about putting her to sleep----nnnnooooo! she's only a year and a half old. nobody is telling me anything, the vet calls me later that afternoon and is like we need to do xrays and lab work--she is refusing food, yadayada, and we need to do an ultrasound and she could have a blockage, I am just like freaking out! So needless to say, I never went to bed because I was so worried about my baby girl!
this morning the vet calls and was like, I don't think there is a blockage but she has hepatitis. I was like what? how the heck did she get hepatitis--it apparently started in her gallbladder and spread to her liver, they started her on antibiotics and iv fluids and said she could come home this afternoon. I went to get her and they said I had to learn to force feed her (ha right!) so i did and i had to give her antibioitcs as well.........guess what happened 500 dollars later????????

she was freaking out tonight and I was like what is her problem--she was running around screaming and crying and I was like what is the deal??
she pooped out LOTS OF EASTER GRASS she had gotten into last week!!!!!!! 500 dollars for 50 cent easter grass??????? she had a foreign object in her and that's probably why she got hepatitis---so I gotta call the vet tomorrow and let her know of the discovery----uuuugggghhhh, I am glad the mystery is solved!!!!!!!! guess I gotta keep her for the money I spend on her!!

Still here

So, today is memorial day and I ain't doing anything except looking at other people's blogs and finding people that I haven't seen for YEARS! It's amazing what technology can do! So, I am doing SO much better than I have the last few days. I still have two weeks off before I can go back to work. But my stomach is fine now for the most part. I just eat little meals and don't get sick. But I haven't really craved anything except cheeseburgers and fries. I am off the pain meds for the most part unless I push myself too hard doing things and then it's back to being flat on my back. I went to my grandparents graves in Bountiful. My grandma Willey has been gone a year--that has gone by really fast. Mom and Dad went to Hyrum to see her Dad's headstone that we just got put on. Other than that--not much is going on.

I'm Cured (maybe!)

So, yesterday they let me out of prison (the U of U hospital) after 6 very long drug hazed days of horrible pain and horrible roommates. They hope that the bowel issues have been fixed. I have a 5 inch long incision vertically from above my belly button down to there. They stapled it shut so now I can tell people I had my stomach stapled! But some of the nurses were totally awesome and so helpful to me. They made sure that I ate, was comfortable, and at ease after some very embarassing moments while I slept or was just sitting up--apparaently a common thing. Depends aren't that bad! Being cathed isn't that bad either--just ask for drugs and lidocaine and you should do fine!
I had one great roommate out of a total of five. The others were very loud, turned the TV up really loud, turned on all the lights, had visitors at odd hours of the night and so I never really got any sleep. ONe nurse finally told the others to let me have the room to myself for one night which I was extremely grateful for. The docs wanted to keep me for several more days but I had had it at that point because the nurses towards the end would not let me have pain meds every three hours as ordered and gave them to me every 8 hours. They stopped my PCA pump cold turkey which was a mistake since I had been told to wean off it since I had been getting fentanyl every ten minutes for two days. I was in tears the last day I was there and finally told the surgery PA I wanted to go home and she said it would be better so I could control the environment I was in. One nurse did tell me she went to Viewmont and we had a discussion about the people that we know. So there were some good and bad experiences,I choose to try to focus on the good ones............. but the real reason I went home is because they brought up my roommate who had three STDs that had been ignored for so long she ended up having major abdominal surgery and lost the baby she was carrying. They talked to her two feet away from me and told her everything that she had and the cultures that had grown out, she was moaning the whole time and I was just like--I am done, not sharing a bathroom ( i know you can't catch an STD from the toilet, but still!!!!!)so I went home to the quietness of my own house with my parents to lovingly care for me and to be able to watch my medications and get them when I need them (don't worry, not gonna get hooked!) But dialudid has been my best friend for the last two days :0)

Updates

Well, only 6 more days until I go to the hospital for yet another abdominal surgery and HOPEFULLY the last one! I will be at the U for a few days and then come home and have three weeks off! I only pray this cures the all night puking party and the intense horrible stomach pain I would not wish on my worst enemies. I would love to be able to eat again and know it won't come up again (sorry that's gross I know) But work has been absolutely wonderful about helping me out and wanting me to be cured since they love me so much (I am seriously not kidding--they really don't want me to leave since I am helping them out with so many projects and what not). So keep your fingers and toes crossed that the bad part of the intestines comes out and leaves me alone.....
moving on....here is another picture from graduation, sorry to disappoint y'all about not showing a little more leg, but some of us are endowed and need to cover the necessaries.......besides, I hadn't shaved either!

I'm done!

Okay I promised the ugliest pictures in the world and once mom gets the others e-mailed to me I will post those too. I am done with Graduation yay!
