Another Trip To The ER

I went to work this morning as normal. Our truck was coming a day late, so the other assistant manager opened with me, we are also doing a company wide store re-set so 2 other managers came in at 9am. In previous posts I mentioned how I had "collisions" with my DM because I am suppose to take it easy on my feet (no standing for long periods of time) and NO heavy lifting, which I did it anyway because I could lose my job if I couldn't perform the duties. Anyways, I told my husband I was concerned because I kept bleeding...at times it was rather heavy, but always slacked off.
Well, today it didn't. I woke up feeling fine, went to work, and from 9am until almost 11am I ran back and forth between the register and the department I was working in. I told the girl I was working with that I was gonna take my break around 11 or 11:30. I have been passing small clots and I felt myself pass one. I went to the bathroom and my journey began. I was bleeding so heavy. I ended up getting blood all over the toilet and the floor and it wasn't stopping. I had one of my co-workers to call my mom. Her and my dad took me to the ER in the next town over (because this one in our town *****). They got me situated....of course I had to take my underwear off, my mom was back in the room with me and I went into the bathroom and my mom had to follow me back to the bed with paper towels behind me because blood was going everywhere. They did blood work and all of that and wanted a urine sample. My husband was there by this time and helped me into the bathroom where I gushed all over the floor. It was a horrible mess. They brought a lady in to clean me up (I was so embarrassed). I kept passing pretty good size clots and the blood would just run. They basically said that since my blood count was good there wasn't much they could do and that I should follow up with my gynecologist first thing Monday morning. And NO MORE MICRONOR (the birth control I have been taking).
I have been keeping track of my bleeding on the period charting thing on here. In the last month I have been bleeding more than not. I'm not allowed to go back to work until I have a follow up with my doctor and my husband is not letting me do anything. I think my bleeding has slowed, but I haven't really been up moving around either. I am just going to take it easy this weekend.
Get this, my husband called my boss to let her know what the doctor said and everything...the first words out of her mouth "Well, could she give me her number for the register, she didn't count her drawer down so now I have to do it." And when I talked to her, she was like "Do you realize you didn't take your drawer off?" Um, HELLO I was severely bleeding, the last thing on my mind was counting my damn money drawer! My dad was so mad I thought he was gonna go down and beat her up. Before this is all done and over with (I look for this to end in some sort of surgery) I am probably going to lose my job. When my mother-in-law came to see me she told me that if they did fire me, then I could get un-employment. She was like "whatever you do don't quit!".
I will keep you all updated on where things go. For now, I am just relaxing and not doing anything.

You poor thing ... you've definitely been through a lot. Yes ... rest and if things change .. definitely go back to the ER. Let us know how your visit goes on Monday or before should a trip to the ER become necessary. Sounds like you, your husband and parents are on top of this .. you take it easy.
As for your employer, that is despicable behavior .. you don't quit and if you get fired ... they must pay unemployment.
Love and Hugggsss ..

I hope there is no more trips to the ER.
My poor parents. My sister had a minor surgery yesterday (she is doing well now just sore) and then this with me today. I told my mom that me and my sis are keeping her and dad very busy. I consider myself very lucky to have such loving parents and such a caring husband. I don't know what I would have done had they not been with me today.
I would love to find another job, but right now that is really impossible. No one is gonna hire me when I am facing surgery. I am just gonna battle these jerks for now.
I know you are going through a rough time yourself right now, Ranae. Thanks for taking the time out to post here. I hope you are doing well!

Hi, so sorry to read your journal and must have been very frightening. You have a great support system @ home and are legitimately out of work right now .... don't quit whatever you do. AND don't worry about missing days off; just be sure to have them backed with a Dr's note.

I'm not going to quit. I have a note that told me I am not to return to work until the 17th from the ER and I am calling my doctor on Monday and they said that if she wants me off for longer then she will have to get that note. I am making sure my butt is covered, no doubt about that. My District Manger is a complete*insert inappropriate word here* and has no sympathy at all, but I have all the papers right here at home to prove what was/is wrong with me and where I was and all of my instructions.
I do have a great support system here at home and I am thankful for that everyday. My husband use to get on me a little bit for missing work for my female troubles. Here recently though I think he has really seen how bad they have gotten. Yesterday when he was in the bathroom with me at the hospital, even though he will never admit it, I think he got a little freaked out by all the blood. Not just at the site of the blood, but just because it all came from me and there was so much. I cried to him and apologized for everything. He just hugged me and told me that none of it was my fault and that we were gonna get my problems fixed, no matter the cost, even if the cost was my job. I am just so stressed out about everything right now. I know where all of this is leading to and I just want it over with now.
