Hi and thanks for the input. I was on flagyl and pepcid (among other drugs) atMayos. And the c diff hit me like a freight train in just about a day after coming home. Now I am on flagyl, macrobid, bentyl and taking vicodin as needed- haven't needed to rake any more colace yet either. The weight loss seems to freak out dr's more than me. I went from almost 140 pounds down to 105 when I had the hsyerectomy, and it took 2 years to get past 118 pounds. I am really trying to get my weight healthy so the chemo does not get delayed. All the other pills I had to take at hospitol ove the weekend - were potassiom, magnesium, and the like. They gave me several bags IV fluid, but after a few bagsof potassium my vein blew out so I had to choke it down. They said my electrolytes were low enough to affect my heart, and it was racing at times, and jumpy like at times.
Starting Wed a nurse is stopping at the house- I am looking forward to the help and info.
Mayo's knows all about the neobladder LOL.... But my local hospitol - no Dr or nurse treating me had even seen someone with a neobladder. I asked each one before they tried to do anything to me.
I go back to Mayo's on April 9th - the foley comes out then, I meet the oncologist and I get taught self cath etc then.
Well, think I'll start getting my 80+ ounces of fluid going, get some breakfast. Love you guys, and thanks again, Holly
