Outpatient LOL Procedure Day Two

I woke up on Saturday morning feeling super warm and just tired from all the bp and temp checks throughout the night.

I had some blood drawn around 5:30 in the morning. I don't like needles and I was not happy to be woken up at that time with "Good morning, I am here to draw blood" Really, at 5:30 am not what I want to hear when I am feeling like I am on fire.

So a couple of hours later Dr. Day came in to let me know that my bile number was higher than the night before and I had a fever. So our plan of action was to check my numbers later in the day around noon, if my bile number and temp went down I would be able to go home that evening. If not, then I would have to have an MRI to see if there was a gallstone that had become lose during the removal or if there was leakage in my liver. If they saw anything then they would have to do another procedure.

The morning seemed to drag and I kept napping. Around noon they came to draw blood and the PA Desiree came in around 3. My fever had not broken, it was still slightly up and my bile number still went up a little bit. So she was putting in the orders for an MRI. I wont lie I was upset that I could potentially have another procedure.

Around 3:45 I was wheeled to the MRI area and they gave me something to be calmed as I was inside this tunnel. They asked me what music I wanted to listen to and I seriously said Strangeland by Keane and they looked at me like I was talking a foreign language. So I said country will be fine thank you.

Around 6 I don't recall Desiree came in and said everything looked good but I still had a fever and they were giving me antiviotics thru the IV. I was to stay another night and the next morning my blood wold be drawn to see if my bile number and fever would be down.  If not I would have to have a gastroenterologist do a procedure the next day to see what was wrong.

I was a little upset that this outpatient procedure was just extending to a long event. My sister in law came and brought me a magazine my cell phone and I felt so horrible that I was still in the hospital and knew she was worried.

I had a couple of texts from some dear friends and the search began to find someone to give me a blessing. I received a blessing from my sweet bishop and a friend the sunday before but I just wanted a litle reassurence as things had taken a different direction. BS and SS came to my rescue. I thought of calling BS as I had seem him the night before my procedure and thought he was working that night so I didn't text him. Glad MR or LB did.

That night I think I slept better than the previous night.
