CHECKING IN :)

GOOD MORNING!!!!

well i just got home from the dr's. i feel like i'm turning into a hyperchondriac(sp?)it's so scary to bleed internaly and not know till it's almost to late, ya know??? wow, after going to see my dr. today, i realize how close i really came to dying!!!

Everything checked out fine today and the nurses are sooo nice there. my dr's office is about a mile away, i even walk there sometimes and they said ANYTIME i'm worried about bleeding, to just stop in and they'll do a quick check of my blood pressure and vitals for no charge (i have no insurance) to be safe and give me a piece of mind.

i hope everyone is doing good this morning....I missed you all sooo much!!!!

luv ya,
tink :)

Thank GOD yo're ok.... at least physically.... hahaha
What was wrong?  Is there any way this can happen again?  What are you going to have to do preventative wise......

I was very worried........

Good to hear from you!

i posted this yesterday but it's back a page from all the posts. so i copied and pasted it here again. i'm still tired and typing all over again seems overwelming.

Friday i started not to feel so well, but like always i assumed it was my Endometriosis flaring up. My stomach had been upset and i was running a low-grade fever all day friday. Friday night aroung 5:30 pm i threw up alot of blood, i called my Dr's office but he had gone home already and the nurse advised me to go straight to the ER, well, i of course didnt listen (i found out later I wasnt thinking "clearly" cause of my loss of blood) so instead I went to bed Friday night around 7:30pm and tossed and turned all night with some pain, but nothing "extreme". i woke up saturday morning at 5:30 am to pee and on my way back to bed, i got the worse pain ever in my life!!!! i went back to the bathroom and was crying (screaming) had cold-sweats and tons of blood was coming out "that end" (sorry its kinda gross). my sister woke up got my boyfriend to come in the bathroom by me to see what was wrong. by this time i thought i was seriously dying. i honestly dont remember much from that point on, except i slipped down the stairs and my b/f luckily caught me. by this time i couldnt walk. i was "in and out" of it in the ER so i only remember "bits and pieces" of alot.

Basically i had 2 bleeding ulcers, i didnt know about, and i lost 7 pints of blood. they put me to sleep and looked in my stomach, took pictures (which they showed me) and cauterized the ulcers. then they gave me a blood transfusion. the dr. said if another hour or so would have gone by, i would have died. so i am very grateful to be alive right now.

so thats about it, and yes it can happne again at ANYTIME!!!! i'm trying not to stress out over it, cause it will only cause my ulcers to flare up...

luv ya,
tink :)

I am SO glad you are okay!  That sounds like it must have been terrifying!

I would like to talk more.  I will post a refresher on my story this afternoon(and try not to be boring about it).  My son's  IEP meeting is today.  That is a little stressful.  So once that is over, I will write some.  Take care of yourself today.
