CLARISSAS POV
I WAS AWAKE BUT PLAYING OPOSSUM LISTENING TO STRUGGLE TALK ON THE PHONE . I KNEW NOW THAT HE WAS GOING TO START WITH THE QUESTIONS AGAIN .
I'VE KEPT THIS TO MYSELF FOR THE MOST PART . NOT EVEN SARAH KNEW WHAT I NOW FEARED MOST .
***** FLASHBACK 4 YEARS EARLIER *****
CLARISSA'S POV STILL
I WAS SITTING HERE IN THE HOSPITAL WAITING FOR MY TEST RESULTS. COVID HAD HIT SO NO ONE WAS ALLOWED BACK WITH ME NOT THAT ANYONE CAME ANYWAYS .
I WAS LOST IN THOUGHT WHEN THE DR CAME BACK IN WITH MY TEST RESULTS AND SCANS LOOKING GRIM .
MS. CLARISSA I HAVE YOUR RESULTS DO YOU WANT THE GOOD NEWS OR BAD NEWS FIRST ? DR SAYS
JUST TELL ME DOC I'M A BIG GIRL I CAN HANDLE IT ... I SAY
WELL OKAY THEN . YOUR RESULTS SHOW THAT YOU HAVE MASSES GROWING ON YOUR KIDNEYS AND ALSO ON YOUR OVARIES . WE NEED YOU TO SCHEDULE FOLLOW UPS WITH THE SPECIALIST . FROM THE LOOKS OF THE MASSES IT COULD BE CANCER MA'AM.
O... O... OKAY AND WHAT'S THE OTHER NEWS THEN ?
AFTER YOUR PRE OP WE CAN DETERMINE IF YOU'LL NEED FURTHER TREATMENT FOR IT IF IT IS CANCER .
OK THANKS DOC .
TWO WEEKS LATER APRIL 2020
I HAD SCHEDULED A LAPROSCOPIC EXPLORATORY SURGERY FOR THE CANCER ON MY KIDNEYS . DOC SAID THE OTHER TUMORS ON MY OVARIES WEREN'T BIG ENOUGH TO BE TAKEN OUT YET .
HOWEVER THEY TOOK OUT THE ONES ON MY KIDNEYS .
I WAS AT THE HOSPITAL IN MY ROOM AFTER SURGERY WAITING FOR THE NURSE TO GET ME UP TO TRY TO WALK AND THE DOCTOR TO COME ON AND LET ME KNOW HOW THINGS WENT WITH THE SURGERY.
I MUST HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP BECAUSE THE NURSE WAS WAKING ME UP TO TRY TO EAT MY DINNER. .
I TRIED TO EAT BUT COULDN'T EAT MUCH BEFORE GETTING SICK AGAIN. THEY BROGHT ME A SANDWICH INSTEAD OF THE HEAVIER FOOD . WHICH I ATE GLADLY.
LATER AROUND 4 PM THE DR CAME IN TO CHECK ON ME AND GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON THE SURGERY.
MS CLARISSA YOUR SURGERY WENT WELL . WE TOOK OUT THE MASSES AND YOU SHOULD BE OKAY TO GO HOME TOMORROW IF EVERYTHING LOOKS OKAY . YOU NEED TO MAKE A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT WHEN YOU GO HOME SO WE CAN CHECK YOUR INCISIONS AND WOUNDS AND MAKE SURE THERES NO INTERNAL BLEEDING OR ANYTHING . IF WHEN YOU GO HOME YOU NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WITH YOUR URINE OR ANY EXCESSIVE BLEEDING DONT HESITATE TO CALL THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY OR GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
TWO DAYS LATER
CLARISSA AT HOME
I WASN'T FEELING RIGHT FOR SOME REASON . MY LEFT SIDE WAS NUMB AND I COULDN'T GET UP OR ANYTHING . I CALLED THE DOCTOR AND HE SAID TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, SO I DID .
ENDED UP WHERE I WAS HOOKED TO AN IV AND ALL KINDS OF MONITORS . TURNED OUT I BECAME SEPTIC FROM AN INFECTION . I SPENT THE NEXT TEN MONTHS IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND REHAB CENTERS BECAUSE OF THAT COMPLICATION FROM THE INFECTION .
I HAD ALSO ENDED UP HAVING A FEW SMALL STROKES WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL AND LATER SEIZURES .
