another surgery!

Well, Something has happened that hasn't happened since 1997.... I am Hospital bound!!! I went to the doctor on a Wednesday for a nasty Bladder infection ( very common in those with Spina Bifida) and when he catheterized me he  didn't like what he saw so he sent me to see a Colo-Rectal specialist the next day. when I got to the Colo-rectal  Doctor ( who by the way is very cute) he said he was admitting me to the hospital. --RIGHT FROM THE OFFICE!! So last Thursday I found myself in Winthrop, on a liquid diet, Pending surgery a week later. I had to go to Radiology and get a PICC line put in . the procedure wasn't that bad and now i don't need to be poked with needles, everything goes into the port ( Well, ALMOST everything, I still need finger pricks for blood sugars and shots in the tummy for anti clotting meds) well, the morning of the surgery came and next thing I know my doctor came in to say the surgery was postponed...TILL NEXT WEEK!!!  So I am home now till next week, So much for EMERGENCY surgery!!!
