Sick of being stuck at home...

So, I'm sick of being stuck at home and wondering if I will EVER be able to go back to work and do normal things...  For those who don't know, I had lap band surgery about two weeks ago.  There isn't a very high rate of complications, but I seem to be enjoying a lot of them.  First, my whole stomach opening swelled shut and I wasn't able to eat/drink anything at all for 4 days.  That landed me in the hospital for 4 days.  I won't ever complain about hospital food again because when you are there for 4 days and don't even get a tray to break up the day, the days get REALLY long.  They pumped me full of IV fluids to keep me from getting dehydrated and finally I was able to keep things down and go home.

I had a follow up appointment with the doctor to look at the incisions last Monday and everything looked good.  Even went to work for a few hours on Wednesday but got sick feeling after a few hours and went home, planning to work longer on Thursday.  On Thursday morning, I got up early and was nearly ready for work when all of a sudden clear fluids starting spurting out of one of the incisions.  Not infected or anything but actually spurting out so much that I kept a towel wrapped around my stomach and couldn't stop the flow.  The doctor said it was normal and that the fluid had to come out so I just let it spurt away, washing all my towels a couple times a day.  Gross!!  I figured how long could it go?  I'd had kind of a lump on my abdomen that was really tight and that was going down so I thought it would end in a few hours.

Friday morning and still spurting strong and starting to freak me out.  Called the doctor again and got an appointment to have them drain it in the afternoon, even though they said there were no promises that it wouldn't fill back up again and start over.  Went up on Friday and they cut the incisions a little and pushed down to drain it.  Did any fluids come out?  Of course not... nothing was coming out at all.  Gave me some bandages/gauze to wrap it better and sent me on my way.  Once I got home, it started up again and I realized the "weeks worth" of dressings would probably only last 2 days, if that.  So, Kim took me to a Medical Supply store and I bought a ton more.  On Saturday, still going strong.  I started trying to wrap it up and contain it a little (thinking that would need to happen in order for me to go back to work) but each wrapping barely lasts an hour before leaking.  I'm starting to get worried that it will never stop!

Sunday morning, still leaking.  And now because of the incision being opened further, I have an open wound to worry about not getting infected.  Don't know whether to go back to the towel method and just let it drain or what...  Doctor says this can go on for months....  although, I'm hoping at some point the volume is less so that a dressing can contain it.  I can't not go back to work forever.. and I can't be leaking thru my clothes at work so what will I do?

Almost forgot one of the most important parts.  I did get a priesthood blessing from members of my church.  In the blessing, I was promised that I would heal quickly so that I can return to my responsibilities at home and at work.  So I am holding on to hope and faith that this will happen and that it won't take too long.  Prayers from anyone for this are appreciated!
