I had neck tubes in veins, feeding me and watering me, to bypass the stomach and inflamed pancreas, so my body consumed all its body fat and muscle. 2-3 small cups of ice chips a day, was all I was allowed, in the Oncology Wing/ICU/CCU.
I was like a cadaver when I got out. I went from size 38” Lee jeans down to 32”, and they were like bags on me. I’m putting weight back on slowly, now and up from 134 to 159.
I still have stents in my stomach, so I can’t lift weights yet, until they’re removed, so all I can use are 7 & 10-lb dumbells. I need to put muscle back on, not just weight.
Prayers up for your continued healing, you walking miracle, you!
