Stuck in hospital

[ShadowsPapa]

Did they not do a CT when you went in complaining of belly pain?

No. In the past I've talked with various " health care providers" and apparently, in Iowa the insurance companies run things and the doctors are shy about testing. Then the biggy here, Mercy, has crazy minimums that doctors are forced to see each day. I've had totally severe bouts in the past and it's always "It's not your heart, you're ok" Never a check of gall bladder even though Tuesday the symptoms and pain were right out of a textbook for gall ladder.
One ARNP told me things are better in Mississippi than Iowa as far as insurance and such. Less control over what doctors can do (she has a sister in medicine there)

Get well quickly Bill. Your informative comments regarding the JT and Jeeps in general are a big reason I just joined JT Forum (been lurking since 2020).

Any updates?

i may go back in to either urgent care or family doctor this coming week depending on the results of a call I'll make to the surgeon's office tomorrow AM:
One incision has some "leakage". Felt wet last night, while 3 of the 5 seem to be doing nicely, no pain, no red or irritation. But that one I can feel if I yawn or stretch and the fact it felt wet last night - after a week?

I feel cold all the time - house is set to 72, my wife feels hot and runs fans everywhere she goes and I sleep under a quilt and a blanket, and when sitting, get cold enough to grab a small quilt. Normally 72 would feel warm to me.

Legs ache constantly. Have to keep taking things like Tylanol or ibuprofen. Makes it tough sleeping. That may be due to the increased amount of sitting and laying around this past week, but will ask them. They said I was at a fairly high increased risk of clots and gave injection for that while in the hospital.

Still no lifting and I brace myself standing, but the surgery combined with my already dead sense of balance thanks to loss of function of left inner ear combine to make me look more like I'm 100, not just 67.

I did drive fine yesterday, although I do have to watch it as I seem a bit more "scatter-brained" and organized with thoughts for a while - likely meds wearing off.
Had to run Tuvak to the veterinary emergency yesterday while my wife was gone.
Poor guy now is reacting to the prednisone we were giving him for the side effects of the felimazole we were giving him for the thyroid situation. Had to drop that one like a rock, and now have to ween him off the prednisone!
So I made multiple trips getting him there, then picking him up later.
The JT Overland rides smooth - or did until I put those Eibach rear shocks on. I wish I had left the stock shocks on - much better ride.
I feel every little bump and imperfection on the road in my gut.

I'm sorry to hear about your recent health challenges. It's concerning that initial assessments didn't identify the severity of your gallbladder condition. Unfortunately, such misdiagnoses can occur, especially when symptoms mimic other issues. It's a reminder of the importance of advocating for thorough medical evaluations when something doesn't feel right. Wishing you a smooth recovery and hoping you're back to full strength soon.

He's been off grid for a while. Last post was 12/27/24. Last seen was 1/14/25. Hopefully he's ok.

I sent him a PM last Tuesday and have heard nothing either. Hopefully his health is ok.

I do know in the past, sometimes he gets frustrated with something on the board and takes a break from it.

 

[IamPro2A]

Without invading his privacy too much, I was worried too. We actually have some mutual friends of friends due to several other shared interests, and it appears he may just be taking a break.

 

[Jteakus]

Prayers sent.

SP get well soon/take your meds/keep moving at all costs/drink more water than you every have, it will help your body flush out those toxins!
