Friday, March 16th, I went to the ER for the worst case of gas I've ever had. LOL, don't laugh it's funny now, but talk about SERIOUS pain. I didn't know what brought it on, but my stomach was huge, full of air, to the point I was barely walking. None of the OTC medications I bought were working and I didn't get a wink of sleep so I went to the ER.
After sitting in the Emergency Room for several hours the doctor tells me I am going to be admitted b/c my hemoglobin is extremely low (around 5). Well this is b/c of a blood disorder that I have so I wasn't surprised I was being admitted. I wouldn't want to go home with a hemoglobin of 5 anyway...that's dangerously low.
Well within 24 hours I'm being told that I may have to have surgery before I am discharged. I'm like WHAT? Now, the surgery has NOTHING to do with the blood disorder so I'm completely shocked. I'm crying by day 7 because they are still saying I will more than likely have to have surgery. There is no way I want to have another surgery. I've had 3 already, but at this point I really didn't have a choice. So I prayed and although I had the surgery everything went well. THANK GOD!
I just got home Thursday so I am recuperating. If I'm not around much don't be surprised, NOT because I am passed out somewhere lol I am actually feeling just fine and want to exercise, but I know it's too soon. I am not sure what the next few weeks will be like though because I know that life goes on and there is so much going on right now that I MUST pick back up and keep moving. I really don't have time to sit around. I just wanted to let you all know why I've been MIA.
Thanks for any concern,
Enchantress

wow DiE...noticed u were missing for a minute but didn't think it could have been due to illness...just thought u were out there living life...hehe...well glad it went fine and glad to have u back!!
I'm soooo happy that you're doing well and everything went OK...I gave up the other place for Lent, so didn't know that you were MIA.
OMG...Please, please tell me that the surgery had nothing to do with gas, because I am constantly plagued by the stuff, sometimes I can't even walk, that's how bad it gets...
Thanks y'all...
LOL @ j.d...sorry, I'll be sure to take a notebook next time so that I can post from the recovery room. :-)
Kara, I was living life and then this happened. I'm back to living life as much as I can for now. The hospital visit made me think about what I want out of life...now...10 years from now...etc. So, now I am going to fulfill my lifelong dream finally (I will post about it as I work towards it). Funny how it takes some life-altering event for many to define themselves and/or their purpose. Ah, it's what I needed though.
SE, you have nothing to worry about. I actually had a cyst on my ovary removed...and a hematoma that was found during surgery that I knew nothing about. The gas actually saved me. :-)
Yes, Nix, thank God for life...I hope all is well with you.
