I do not believe vanity was the driver for my friend as she has suffered from knee/hip pain, sleep apnea and other issues she is around 300 pounds.
Hospitalization #2 a drain tube was inserted to drain the abdominal fluidsa peg tube was place for tube feedings and a gastric stent was placed. 2 days later she was started on oral liquids. 2 days later she was ready to be discharged when she noticed tomato soup leaking into her abdominal drain. A STAT XRAY confirmed stent placement was correct and she was discharged.
Home health did an assessment today and realized she cannot handle her own care and has recommended placement in a long term care facility. This is the plan for today, May 4, 2010.
