Wendy B. 25 years, 8 months ago

Hello everyone. I am finally able to sit at my computer and update. I went through a really hard time with this surgery. I had the worst back pain I had ever had in my life. I was released from the hospital on Thursday the 10th and went to the emergency room on Saturday because I couldn't handle the pain anymore. It turned out I had pneumonia. What a blow. I was admitted for another 4 days. I cried and cried, "why did I do this?" I went through alot of depression also. I still have that pain in my lower back but the doctors keep telling me it is from the pneumonia. I am having a hard time believing that. I also had my spleen removed because they said it ruptured when they were doing the surgery. I am also having a hard time dealing with that. I am getting better each day but it is such a big change. I did alot of praying while in the hospital. I am always so worried about whats next. Dr. Greenbaum is a very good surgeon but he needs to work in another Hospital. Rancocas hospital needs alot of improving, including the staff. I was very uncomfortable there and it isn't what you call the cleanest of hospitals. If I do have to go back into the hospital, I will not be going there. Dr. G will have to understand. Other than the gripes about the procedure I will let you know later whether I am glad I did this.
