That was not what I expected



           I hadn't really paid attention to my surroundings much. I hadn't looked at my body just yet. The first site of my body, it scared me so much. I have tubes, wires, and a bunch of staples. I would say about 30 or so. When the surgeon came in the next day he changed my dressing. When I tell you this it's not lie, the most scariest thing I have ever experienced so far in my life. 

           My surgeon started to slowly pull my dressing off my wound. This was it. This was the first time I would see what the damage was. I felt damaged. As he pulled the dressing off I saw my scar started maybe a few inches down from my chest. I noticed what looked like some sort of rope. It almost reminded me of a leather purse stitch. I was actually intrigued by this. I still hadn't come to terms what had been happening. I just new I had a long recovery. As my surgeon looks over my wounds, he checked out the dressing on my jpouch tubes. 

          J pouches are weird. They go in both the bottom left and right. They place them in you. So at this point I had tubes coming out so many places, mind you I still had my ng tube as well. This time it was a little further down. I had a heart monitor on to watch out because I was on potassium. How they put the heart monitor one of the cnas clipped ro my johnnys neck. I remember it being so heavy. Everything hurt and now this dam monitor is pulling my neck down and feel even more weighted down. They came in 3 times a day plus when I called them. So at night when I wanted to sleep, the nurses and cnas would come and take care of me. This first night I remember my back hurting so bad. I so desperately wanted to go on my side. I had all these tubes and wires and I couldn't do anything. I felt helpless. At this point I didn't need to be walked into the bathroom because I had a catheter in. I am so glad I didn't feel that being placed. 

        That night my cna turned me on my side. She put a bunch pillows up against my back and support me. I felt relief like maybe I could sleep.. I needed sleep so bad.

Where my Trauma started

             As I laid on the floor, I hope and prayed it wouldn't turn out to be more. As eyes drew heavy and I was so hot. If you could think of how a microwave cooks things from the inside out. That's how I felt. Sweat was just pouring off of me. My wife called 911 as I laid there and rested. She gathered all the cats, so that they wouldn't run outside. They would of have let them out by the way they treated me as an human that was a child. I was laying on the floor as my mom came in. At this point the ambulance people are ready to show up. My mom was waving me down with a fan, the one she made out of a book. She fell to her knees when she got here. If you could have only see that look. It was like the strength of my families life just drain from them. The more sick I felt the more I drained their soul.  The paramedics are horrible. They didn't help me to the stretcher, they also didn't want me to put my sandal on. I was told I would be ...

Sepsis is nothing to mess with

                                   When I awoke from my surgery, I had no idea that I had been in surgery for 4 hours.  Finding out after having surgery that you were septic is frightening. You can die from sepsis. When my small bowel perforated I never thought about getting sepsis all through me. I knew it could happen but I was so drugged up that it was a blur.  My surgeon had really no idea how septic I was till he was opening me up.                                      I was in so much pain I and so messed up that when I woke up it was better we didn't talk much to the infection. It was a scary place mentally to be because you have no control of your body. I noticed I had these tubes on the left and right abdomen. At the end of the tube is almost shaped like a light bulb. When I looked a...

This is my life

                You would think it was uncanny how the world shatters when one vibration is off in our universe. How everything falls apart at the drop of a dime. Chaos every corner you go around and everything starts to slow down. Time doesn't seem consistent everything starts to go distant. By the time that time starts to come back everything till then will be off kilter and everything will be out of whack. I cant stand parallel to myself all the time. Three two one everything has come undone. Now it's almost time again.                This viscous portal of darkness you are not aloud here messing with us. It is a touchy feely subject. Most of all of this is fucked up. Is this portal to the parallel life something we should even know. I pull my divine crystals out and mediate and even push the bad out. Things start to rise one by one. It is when I start to rise again then so do others. ...
