The long and short of it...I have a k pouch which means that I need to intubate my pouch with a catheter and use a 60cc syringe every time to irrigate. My right hand is essential for the process.
I was gardening today and pulling weeds. I pulled up the wrong one, barehanded.
Poison Oak.
My right hand is now swollen, painful, burning, prickly, useless...feels like I am holding a cactus in my fist.
I have put myself onto a liquid diet until this thing clears up...intubation is no longer an option for the next 24-48hrs.
Stupid...just plain stupid.
