Hey.

Sorry to everyone for the extended absence. A lot has been going on in the time I've been away..

Back in Oct I discovered I was pregnant. Between Dr appointments and all the hooplah that comes with pregnancy, I never got the chance to rejoin the forum..

In February, Vox and I had to fly to Arizona to have the house sitter removed from the house for breach of contract.. Long story short, the guy was removed but broke in and trashed the place.. Lots of stress ensued.

Fast-forward to the end of March..

Vox had brought home a flu, we all got sick but got over it.. I, however, developed a chronic cough that got so violent it was cause vomiting. I couldn't sleep because of it and after a week of it, I was so weak I couldn't get out of bed without help so Vox drove me to the hospital.

After a battery of tests as well as a CT scan, they discovered I had blood clots in my lungs and pneumonia. I was transferred to another hospital that specialised in complicated pregnancies and after spending a week in the hospital trying to kill the pneumonia, they did an ultrasound and found too little fluid in the placenta so at 37weeks it was deemed necessary to induce labour.

The process didn't go so well.. Too much Oxytocin too fast caused me to go from 3cm dialated to 9cm dialated in 15 mins and caused contractions to come too fast for me to breathe. Baby's heart rate dropped and wouldn't come back up. Fearing that the placenta was rupturing, I was rushed to the OR for an emergency C Section.

I hadn't gotten an epidural yet so I was given a general. In recovery, just barely waking up, the Drs found a nicked artery and I was rushed back in, given a general yet again, and a second surgery was done for the artery..

Spent another week in the hospital, my gut being held closed by staples and stitches, but our beautiful baby boy was born healthy and happy on April 7th

I finally got the stitches and staples out and was sent home to continue the treatment for blood thinners for the clots but a day and a half later I got rushed back to the hospital because my inscission had popped open and was hemorrhaging.

Spent yet ANOTHER week in the hospital with my inscission reopened and stuffed full of saline soaked gauze.

Finally I got a new dressing that consists of foam in the wound and a vacuum attached to suck all the blood and fluids out so the tissue can seal itself closed from the inside, out.

Been home for two weeks now, wound VAC still attached but I'm told I can get off the VAC on Monday and get an "Aquacell" dressing that I can change by myself for the rest of the healing process..

Meanwhile I'm on blood thinners for the next 5 months to treat the last blood clot.

So there's the full story as to where I've been.

How's things been with everyone here?

First of all, welcome back. You and Vox have been missed.

Second, glad to hear you are finally on the healing path. I know how complicated things can get, health wise. Last year was a demon for me as well. Well, not as bad as yours; I didn't get pregnant. LOL

Third, browse around and see if either of the ships would welcome your presence if you are interested in reactivating.

And again, welcome back.

:nana:
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow. Things should start to get interestin' right about now

Welcome back Khei! You have no idea who I am as I am very new here, but I just wanted to say my heart goes out to you and your family for all the hoo-hah you've been through, and I also wanted to give you a massive congratulations on the baby!

Hope to see you around more often!
