Going under the knife 8am surgery
 

If I die. Well~Bye

I know it's probably a routine surgery but still the last three months have been brutal hell for me. It all started when I thought it was a COPD flair up and having hyperventilation that sent me to ER in ambula nce 3 times. Usually after a week of steroids it clear up but I ended up on roids for a month. Then my primary doctor referred me to my pulminologist because each time my O2 stats were normal. However my chest was burning in flames. My pulminologist sent me to a specialist surgeon. I had a scope done down my throat and turned out I have a Hiatal hernia. That means I have bad acid reflux that I have been throwing up that caused all my chest pain. I've actually had it long time but now just horrific.

They started me on new stomach meds and after a week I started feeling much better. I was scheduled for second scope but that got postponed. Then when it was time for my second scope the told me be off my meds for a week prior. I did not like this idea but ok got to do it. After a day of no stomach meds I took a bite of something I thought was mild but I knew it was a **** up. That night I was violently throwing up. Next morning I felt like he'll and could barely pee at 1130 am I made a mental note. That day I spent trying hydrate myself only to violently puke that went all night I couldn't piss. Next day after 24 hours not passing I felt my dick was going explode. I went to ER explained what was going on. My biggest fear came to reality. Holy **** balls mother ****ing hell catheter I thought I was going pass out. They drained 700 CC. They also said from. Urine sample that I was potassium deficient from puking. My kidneys hoarded the potassium that quit making Urine. So I made sure I ate things I could and potassium supplement. Holy Hell

I got my second scope and swallow study done doctor said I have severe esophagus damage level D. Good news after surgery a lot of that can heal o er time and medication.

So here I am on to have surgery. I've missed much of work last 3 months used up 200 sick leave and 200 vac hours. So I got to get better and back to work.

I hope they don't sell a liver or kidney I could use that money.

It's not most simple hernia operation but I got a good surgeon. Sorry for graphics in description of what I've gone through I wish it on no one.

Wish me luck. Also men have your prostate checked out.

Praying all goes well, which it will. You got this!

Sounds like you need to go on short term disability.

Good luck for a successful surgery and speedy positive recovery

I too have a hiatal hernia and nowhere as severe as yours.

Worst it got was about 8 months ago after eating a large Thai meal. I awoke with acid reflux so bad I couldn't catch my breath. The acid was so bad it was getting into my lungs and choking me out. Scary as hell for over an hour. I was close to calling an ambulance.

You've suffered through the dregs of the Chiefs, buddy. You got this.

Sending infinite good vibes your way.

He has been his entire sexual life, JK, good luck and have a speedy recovery
