Oh Karyn, that's terrible. Hope they get you fixed before your husband trades you in on a newer model. I wish I lived close enough to help you out.

Linda

Awww Karyn, Im so sorry, bless your heart.
Something simalar happened to my sister, she went in to
have her bladder tacked back up, went through the surgery
went home and at her next Drs. visit he told her she would
have to have surgery again, a piece of sponge was left
inside and he had to go in to retrieve it, and get this
they charged her for the whole operation again!!!
I hope this time everything goes better for you, keep your
chin up sweetie, you`ll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hummm, I don't know what to say except that I too will be praying for you, your family and your sanity. This is just too much for you. Do we all need to call your doctors and do a little chewing???? Geez and to think I thought it was going to be something to do with the greenhouse. Please take care of yourself, forget about everything else and GET WELL SOON.

Being sick and hurting is a BUMMER.
Love Ya, Marian

Geez! What is happening to the medical profession??!! I am hearing about so many botched surgeries that have to be redone due to negligence and you can't sue them for some %#$@*& reason! Karyn--my prayers are with you and try not to let it get you down--just remember you have many friends here and family that will be there for you. (((Karyn))) Big hugs!
Linda

OMG Karyn, that truely sux..I am so sorry to hear you still have to deal with this BS. I thought for sure it was over with! You know you are in our prayers & our hearts. We are all here for you. Hey, b!tch and whine all you want, that's what friends are for, right?! Please don't get too depressed, I know it sucks, but try and keep your spirits up for the kids. If they see you worried they will be even more so, and be pretty upset. Stay strong, this will all be over soon, and you will be back to normal! No more friggin dr's!! :) love ya girl, hang in there!! ((((hugs))))
Daniella

It's not a matter of negligence. It's an extremely rare complication. It just figures that I'd experience it : ( This will be the 4th procedure and 3rd general anesthetic in 2 weeks with a probable 5th procedure to follow. This sucks!
Karyn

I hate to hear that Karyn. I know how it feels after 2 neck surgeries and the shoulder surgery and still having the same pain. I have been avoiding going back too. I am finally losing some of the weight I gained after all the shots and surgeries. I need to regroup before I deal with it again. I hope they get it straightened out for you. I know you don't like being sick and having to keep going back. Keep your chin up chick. It'll be over soon and you will be all better.

Karyn You are a Star, hang in their Champ, It will be over and a distant memory come this Summer, with all the Garden in its full glory. Picture that!

And thanks also for being my friend.

What a sh***y thing to have happen, Karyn. So sorry you have to go thru this again (and again!)I'm pullin'for ya ALL the Way!.. Best of luck and Catch ALL these hugs ((H))
Gloria

Sorry to hear you have complication with the surgery, Karyn. When I was doing my clinical in a community hospital, I saw so many difficulties. Hang in there, the important thing to do is ask a lot of questions like "why? how the procedure are perform? what cause the complication? who is perform the operation? " and always get second opinions and keep a journal of all imfo. A lot of questions made people more conscientious about their job.

good grief, Karyn! thinking of you, for sure...

Oh Karyn - I am sooooooooooo sorry. . . .

In patient, so you're staying over nite? Is he going to keep you this time to monitor your progress?

We'll all be thinking of you and I'm so very, very sorry you're going through this.

Has he given you a time frame on how this impacts your other procedure?

So very sorry you're going through this.

So sorry to hear about this new complication and the need to have surgery. Hang in there. Sometimes it seems like that black cloud hangs over our head way too long, but soon things will be better and you will feel renewed. We are all praying for your quick healing of mind, body and spirit.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm just sick and tired of this and want to be done already. Dweeb I'm being admitted as an inpatient but am going to try and convince them to release me after I get out of the recovery room. Surgery isn't scheduled till 1pm so I'm not sure when I'll be done. If I'm feeling even halfway alright I'll probably sign myself out AMA. It depends on what they have to do to get it out. He said it might be an easy quick procedure or it could take a few hours. With the way my luck has been running it will probably be the latter. lol We figure that the stent probably migrated last Sunday because that's when all my pain disappeared. Most people have some amount of discomfort from the end of the stent irritating the bladder. At least my Mom is back in town and she can take care of the kids.
Karyn

Karyn, Gosh, I am so very sorry. I thought things were looking up for you. Try not to get to down... think positive :). You sound like me, if something can go wrong, it will !! We will be thinking about you Thursday.. ((hugs)) E

Karen.... I am so sorry to hear that...How invasive are you talking about???
I will be Praying for you and your family...I hope you get to feeling better...
Kylie

Okay sorry BUT I just had to share...

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"
The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number?"
The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice said, "Norma Findlay, Room 302."
The operator replied, "Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse."
After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, "Good news. Her nurse has told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine. Her blood work just came back as normal and her Physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged Tuesday."
The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you for the good news."
The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"
The Grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me sh**."

LOL!
Karyn

Karyn, I will be praying that your surgery goes well and you are complication free this time. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

Karyn: LOADS OF LOVE AND GOOD WISHES ALL DAY TODAY AND IN THE COMING DAYS FOR COMPLETE RECOVERY. (((H))) Gloria

Karyn...hope all is going well..can't wait to hear from you. (((hugs)))
Daniella

Karyn, so sorry to hear of your ordeal. Good luck with the next stages and hang in there. We'll pray that things improve...sure doesn't sound like it could get much worse.

Jarie

I'm home. It went pretty well but I'm scheduled for another procedure on Monday. That better be the end of this ordeal. I'm uncomfortable, not really pain, just discomfort but I would have told them that I was ready for a triathalon just to make sure they didn't keep me at the hospital! One of the things that bothers me the most is my throat from the ET tube. For some reason I don't ventillate well with the pharyngeal airway. During 2 of the procedures they've had to switch to an ET tube.
Karyn

Oh Karyn, thanks for letting us know you are now home. We all will continue praying for your quick healing including your Monday procedure. I hope you are resting now, and NOT sitting up for long hours on the computer!

YIKES!! A raw throat on top of everything else.. Don't they call that counter pain...LOL
Nice to know you are home and doing well. Sorry to hear you are back again on Monday.. WHY? Will keep you close in Prayer!!! I'm hoping this will all come to a close very soon!!Park your OCD and take the time to heal...;^)We Miss You and Need you Healthy!!!
Kylie

Glad to hear from you Karyn and that you are doing pretty well. Uncomfortable is better than bad pain. Eat a halls cough drop. It might help some and drink plenty. Get some rest.
Kristy

Karyn, I'm glad you're home. Hang in there! You're in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Theresa

Karyn, I am glad you are home. Again Monday?? Lordy woman, I hope that's the last one. Try drinkin some tea with honey for your throat? Take it slow and easy so you heal quickly and properly. (((hugs)))
Daniella

(((Karyn))), glad to see they let you go home and now rest up for the next round. You are in my thoughts and prayers that this will pass soon.

So Glad you're able to recover at home. The hospital is not the place to heal!!! lol. Awful that you have another ordeal on Monday, but being the trouper you are it too shall pass and you will be home in no time. Until then, much affection and good will STREAMING your way. Gloria

Karyn, I completely missed this post and hope you are feeling better. It all sounds very painful to me, but I'm one of those people with a low tolerence to pain. Good luck on Monday, will be thinking about you.

Karyn, so glad to hear you got to come home and that every
thing went pretty well, keeping you in my thoughts and
prayers that it will go smoothly on Monday too.

Karen

Karyn - Hopefully you'll be home free after Monday's OP procedure.
Gardenpaw- Your relative should be camping in in that surgeon's office or contacting her state's board of Medical Practice. There is no waaaaay she should have been charged for fixing a procedural error (and a retained object is a big error!). Either she or her insurance should have all expenses related to the 2nd procedure refunded.......not a doctor nor an attorney but I've worked 35 yrs at a topnotch medical center and having to pay to fix an error made on their part is just plain wrong.
Will

Karen I missed that post about a sponge being left inside your relative. That's just plain negligence. After every procedure a sponge count is done prior to closure. If it doesn't match up an X-ray is taken to see if it's been left in the patient (all sponges contain a radiopaque thread). Someone dropped the ball big time with that surgery! I'm glad she recovered and didn't end up with peritonitis.
