Thanks Dean & Wyldfire! For the first time this week I slept almost 8 hours! And in my own bed! Although I'm still on medication, I'm going to try to get up and do a few things.

Last Sunday I had a persistent and growing pain in my abdomen. It was my gallbladder, and I had to be rushed to the hospital. They told me I needed a cholecystectomy, which is basically removing the gallbladder. The surgery was performed on Monday at 6 PM. It was a long operation, a very complicated case, but it was 100% successful. I was admitted to the hospital with an IV drip and pain medication. They told me they estimated I'd be discharged Friday or Saturday once I was eating and using the bathroom. I went without food for a day (Tuesday). Then I was on a liquid diet (Wednesday). Then (Thursday) I started a semi-solid diet. I went to the bathroom! The doctors told me no, that there was still an infection and that I had to stay hospitalized for 7 to 10 days with IV fluids. I told them I wanted to leave.
Basically, I wanted to feel better and get back to my family. They told me they didn't think it was possible, but they were consulting with the infection control specialist. The hospital lost power due to a supply outage (a failure by the electricity company). The hospital went into emergency mode, operating on a reduced schedule with its own generator. It was also a long weekend, a four-day holiday for Carnival, during which the hospital was already operating with fewer staff. They gave the order not to admit any patients and to reduce the number of inpatients to a minimum. They gave me the go-ahead to leave and instructed me to follow a strict diet and buy medication. Leaving the hospital amidst a crowd of people felt like an evacuation. Since this happened at the peak of service for all departments, I went back home! I've been prescribed rest and future visits to the hospital for follow-up appointments.

Thank you to the members for your good wishes
