Been in the hospital

Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written.  I ended up going to the ER on Monday April 21st and I’ve been in the hospital ever since; I was just discharged today.  It turns out that I had an abcess on my colon.  Dr. Barker performed a surgery Monday evening to view my abdomen and look for any complications and found and drained the abcess.  By Thursday, infection had spread and I had an abdominal wall infection near one of my incision sites.

I’m glad to be home, but this has been a very frightening and frustrating setback.  I will write more as I have more energy.  I just wanted to put something up, just in case there are people that actually read this blog and were wondering where I’ve been…
