➡️The last few days have been grueling for Kim and her family as she deals with unrelenting pain and severe post-surgical swelling with some hardening. She was forced to go without critical medication due to insurance denials, and the cost of the medication out of pocket is exorbitant. Kim’s surgical team advised her to go into the ER yesterday for additional imaging and lab work to ensure no serious surgical complications occurred during this acute phase of healing.
After 6 uncomfortable hours fasting, in case interventions were warranted, thankfully, the ER scans were clear of clots, abscesses, and other serious complications. They were able to give Kim some short-term pain assistance and reassurance but ignored normal mast cell protocols for IV fluids after having contrast dye. The ER was able to order the rare and necessary medication that she had been missing for the last 5 days, which they are finally obtaining today.✅The focus continues to be on managing her pain and allowing her body to rest.
♥️Let’s hope and pray that Day 4 post-op will be a vast improvement with the correct medications on board so this poor woman can rest!
