Joe's 10 day trip to yankee land/Tiffany's surgery thread

She actually just called. It's not a clot, but the line is blocked, whatever that means. They're gonna keep her overnight, and redo it in the morning, and hopefully be released afterwards. She's been tough through all her problems, but I worry about her fight. I mean it doesn't matter who you are, at some point I can see anybody having enough. When I was leaving her today she told me she was so tired of living like this, and that's what hurt my heart so much. She wouldn't hurt herself, but I worry more each day that she's just going to quit fighting. Just pray for her.

Tiffany went to have her stint replaced this morning, sister took her. They couldn't do it, infection was so bad and crusted inside her. They tried to insert a camera into her stoma to see to get the old stint out, but couldn't get the camera in. They're calling other Drs to try to figure out what to do. They've gotta figure out something, or that infection is gonna end up killing her.

Bless her heart

When my wife came out of her medically-induced coma and off the trach for about that first year and a half, she talked a lot about just wishing I had let them pull the plug on her.
She wasn't in and out of the hospital as frequently as Tiff, but I sort of know what you're going through with this.
It hurts, man.
My thoughts and prayers are with her and you all, man.

It does, and thanks. It's hard to even try to explain the feeling of thinking your wife may end up dying soon. Not that you want to think that, but you see the reality of the situation getting worse, and to know she's tired of being sick and in pain. It's tough man, really hard on me.

Don't mind at all. Had to take her to the ER, but kinda frustrated with the Drs on it. She was there with them this morning, and they were concerned with her arm that has the picc line. It's swollen, bruised, and was hot. Instead of having her go then, they called around 4 and told her they're worried about a clot since she had that one in the hospital, and told her to go to the ER. So I had to take her, come back to get everything situated with the kids, and waiting to see. I'm guessing they're gonna admit her, but don't know yet. Hopefully they do an ultrasound and it's negative, and she can come home. The down side to that is, if it's not a clot, it's infection, which is bad seeing how she has all the other infection, and on treatment. Idk, I want to go back right now, but middle girl is at work, and they don't know yet. Little bit had went with a friend this morning, and we just turned it into her spending the night. I'm just at that sick feeling again, like I mentioned in some thread a few days ago, like when you lose someone. Just feel helpless, but gotta hold it together for her and the girls.

Getting kinda worried. She sent me a text at 12 saying she was about to go for the MRI, and I haven't heard anything since.

Is there a nurses station you can call to get her status?

I was about to call the hospital, and she finally texted me. They actually found a small clot, and went ahead and put a new picc line on the other side. They wanted to keep her a little while to watch her, but treating her with meds, and said the clot was small and shouldn't be a problem. I'm gonna leave here in about an hour, and run home and shower and go down. They said they'd be letting her come home later.

I can’t believe I’m happy about this, but after every thing she’s been through, almost feels like a happy dance is in order.
