I came home around midnight last night because there was nothing they could do until the bariatric team are back in on Monday. I signed myself out on condition that I went back. The CT scans that they did do show that I haven't ruptured the internal stitches and staples where they made my stomach smaller and re-plumbed me, so that's good. However, I have to go back on Monday morning for an MRI scan and a camera down my throat to see if there's a narrowing of my oesophageal join. They seem to think that's a strong possibility.
My blood tests show that I'm starting to dehydrate and have slightly reduced kidney function so I must try to keep hydrated at all times. Not easy when you find swallowing anything, even water, painful.
Ah well, I'll just have to wait until they do more tests on Monday.
In the meantime, I'm baking to keep myself occupied. I can't eat what I'm making but it sure smells good 😁 |
