On May of 2023 I was admitted to the hosp for a Gallbladder attack, At 1st I didn't know what was going on when I crashed in my drive way within days of going on a trip to fla AFTER I had seen my main Dr for my yearly check up & from what she said > EVERYTHING was GOOD. . . Well apparently everything WASN'T GOOD :{ I was in serious pain & throwing up in my driveway just after 12 am taking the trash out & THAT'S where it all happened, I was in severe pain thew up what I had ate in the drive way without warning, could barely walk. Managed to get to the front door of the trailer where Buddy was at watching tv & got to the front door to get his attention & told him I needed to get to the hosp ASAP ! ! ! I was heaving couldn't breath, sick as a dog, barely could get to the car, I was in BAD SHAPE. . . We got to the hosp, got registered in & from there that's ALL I remember of that day from May 5th to mid Sept of 2023 I was in 3 different hosp in ICU, almost died TWICE, was induced into a coma to keep me stable a few mons had me on ALL kinds of machines. From life supports to god knows what else husband said they had them stacked 2 rows high 5 per row, I was hooked up with all kinds of hoses, tubes, wires, on a floating bed that kept me turned every few hrs to my my fluids moving, every 1 thought I was done. I had all kinds of nurse's Dr's & hosp staff on watch with me, once they found the cause of what was going on they worked on addressing it which was my gallbladder had gallstones that attacked the pancreas & damaged it so bad they HAD to address it 1st. . . That's when they said I went into some kind of spasms & had to put me into a induced coma to keep me calm where they could work on my pancreas B-4 they go to my gallbladder, I had NO CLUE as to what was going on from the time I registered in the hosp to the time I FINALLY woke up where I found myself in some MAJOR pain & a daze. Now it's going on Dec 2025 in a few wks from now & on ALL kinds of life long meds INCLUDING Jardiance 25 mgs & 2 insulin shots a day to keep my sugar in check & working with a sugar Dr, a Heart Dr, & my reg Dr to keep things under control. . . This is what happens when you drink Sodas like people drink beer TOO MANY in a day everyday from a young age of my teens, till I was admitted to the hosp at 65 yrs old So now I have gotten off sodas & drinking no sugar drinks like sparkling Ice & Gatorade. I have changed my diet from what I USE to eat to things I HAVE to eat to stay healthy When I went IN the hosp I weighed 200 lbs as BAD as that sounds, AFTER I got where I could get out of the hosp I was admitted to a rehab to get my muscles & strength back. I stayed in the rehab hosp for like a few mons & EVEN there I had to get readmitted back in the hosp AGAIN cause of blood clots that had accrued within a few wks of being in rehab even AFTER I got released from the rehab the DAY OF, I landed BACK in the hosp AGAIN. By the time I was on the road to "RECOVERY" I was on a walker, a Cain, & VERY unstable my mind was all scrambled as to what all I had went through, I was so lost on what I was facing, I couldn't think about anything but the future I was fixing to live with :{ wasn't good. Now that it's been 2 yrs since I've been home & working on my health all this time along with everything else I've had to deal with on top of it, It's not been easy to say the least, as a matter of fact it's been SO so stressful, disappointing, heartbreaking, mind blowing. My weight was 140 lbs coming home had to work on that 1st off, had to work on how to juggle all the meds they dropped on me to take, had to work on what I could eat to get my weight up & to keep my health in check both at the same time, that wasn't easy. Had to wrap my head around the health I was in at the time to getting back on my feet & how to manage helping my husband redo the WHOLE cabin from the floor UP & from wall to wall thank god I saved ALL my $ from the time I started my ss checks I was getting. Which was at the time 500$ then it dropped to a little under 400 by the time Medicaid got a hold of it & then ALL the bills started coming in from the hosp & everything else I was looking at "1,000's" of $'s of bills & I was like the H?? am I to pay these on 400$ ? I ended up with a box full of bills that wasn't getting paid & after about 6 mons later I went through the box & tossed them ALL OUT in the trash cause I knew there was NO WAY I could pay them & just worked on the 1's I COULD pay over time (2 yrs later) After I got ALL that sorted out & somewhat on track, I was getting my strength back slowly where I could walk without a Cain, a walker or any help, I started working on getting down the steps of the back porch by my self, that was a task in it's self to do cause My legs wasn't strong enough to hold my body weight when I came home. Once I got my strength back to walk without help & get around the places I needed the all above started happening, the stressful, disappointing, heartbreaking, mind blowing details of getting through life after a major health issue & recovery has past. 1st was getting started on the cabin that was stressful that took 4- EVER to get ANYTHING going, if it wasn't 1 thing it was another of gotta have this, need that can't do anything when it was raining, or something got in the way 1 way or another. I was feeling like I was fighting a losing battle of everything was against me in getting the cabin done, husband had days he just wasn't into doing ANYTHING but sleeping where I was trying to get the cabin done as soon as I could & COULDN'T get no help. Disappointing, it was worse than that, I tried to hire help cause I KNEW I wasn't able to help like husband needed me to, I don't do height's & I couldn't stand for very long I thought I could help but I was useless to him, & the help we THOUGHT we had was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND, after they said they would help that was a aggravating. Heartbreaking, it took us 4EVER to get as much work as we could get done done & once we FINALLY faced the fact it was all on us to get done, Mainly him Husband till I could get the strength I needed to help as much as I could or he would let me. My 6 dogs I missed so much while I was in the hosp & trying to get back on my feet was dying on me, :{ 1st was my main Aussie male JET, why ? I have NO idea he just died just a few wks once I got strong enough to get around to tend to them. :{ Then the next then I knew the rest of them followed suit 1 AFTER ANOTHER within wks of each other, no sooner I'd get 1 buried another 1 would die & with-in 6 mons they were ALL gone it was so heartbreaking disappointing mind blowing it set me back into confusion of what the H??? happened to them? So I made the decision that was IT no more pets, after all I have been through then that, it was MORE than I could stand now the yard is so quite without my babies barking to get some attention & played with it breaks my heart. This was all in the 1st yr of me coming home from the hosp it's been a rollercoaster from the get go, but now we're heading towards 2026 in a few mons BUT what has been going on THIS yr B-4 next yr gets here to talk about? Well this yr has been a up hill battle with my health I got my weight to 150 lbs I'm steady with that finally, my sugar has been a struggle not getting stable it's been up down all over the place from a 100 to 300 so that's not good. I'm in the cabin SOMEWHAT?? just hanging out with the better 1/2 on & off cause we're BOTH sort of living without our pets, & each other so I spend a few days or weeks with him to make sure he's alright, he don't visit me. My sugar Dr just put me on the Jardiance meds to get my sugar under control I just started them the 21st of Nov 2025 1 a day & next Friday will be a full week on them & so far in just 2 days on them it's helping. I love my cabin I just don't have the food I need to live there & have to cook what I need at hubby's trailer cause all the food is there BUT that's fixing to CHANGE in the next few wks after I get the cat I saved spayed so I can get it a new home & gone & I get some food. Now for NEXT yr 2026 there's NO telling what we will be doing or going through, I have a few things I'd LIKE to see done but that remains to be seen till we get there, but 1st we have to get through winter. The link Below is a Video of just what I explained how your gallbladder & pancreas can kill you in a matter of MINS if not days & not kept in check health wise, it pays to be mindful of your health daily, don't take chances with your like I did.
