I wasnt going to say much about it,but find it only fair to let TRFers know what happened to me last Thursday 7-31 as we are family in a very strange way...:wink:
Due to eating pain killers,IBU,motrin,Asprin,vicondon,ect like candy since April due to cronic lower back pain I suffered a MASSIVE GI bleed from a duodenal ulcer.
To ad to this ,I was already dehydrated from 3 days of diaria.
I came home from work early cuz I wasnt feeling well and had puked once at work(no blood at that time).
I got home at 2pm and laid down. I got up a few times and almost passed out each time I did get up.
Well, at 7pm I felt I had to poop.
I sat down and passed some blood. I remember saying,"Im in trouble" the next thing I knew I was waking up from passing out.
Me wife found me between the crapper and the shower with blood still coming out the rear.
I got back on the crapper and that's when all hell broke lose. I began passing more blood and then I started puking up massive amounts of blood.
Sandy called 911 and I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance.
End result
3 days in ICU and another 3 days in reg room. I got out Wednesday.
They say I went into hemoglobin shock,had lost half me blood and because I was already dehydrtared,me body didnt have the fluids to pull back into my vascular system...bottom line.....I am VERY LUCKY to be posting this today.
I stiil have some issues they are concerned with.
Heart damage is formost.At this time it seems none of my other organs suffered any damage.
Im going for a stress test Monday and have appointments being made for ekg echo gram,ect.
I have to be vey carefull next 6 weeks with my diet.
Pysical activity is as I feel fit.
Im on iron pills,gut pills and anti stress pills.
They say my stress level is as important as my diet at this time. "CHILL"
Anywhoo,today I am alive and kicking and I am VERY GREATFULL to be alive.
