Back from the hospital (again!!)

I ended up in the emergency room Monday night, a week after surgery. I ended up passing quite a bit of blood which caused me to pass out on my kitchen floor. My doctor said I needed to seek help after passing out.
I was released today, after being in the hospital for two nights, so I am home again.

The doctor thought I was having problems with hemmoroids combined with using heparin. The loss of blood caused me to feel light-headed, causing me to pass out. My cheek has a scrap on it. My nose was cut in a couple of places. And, I hurt in more spots than I did before Monday.

At least it is not from anything worse.

Soooo glad you're OK! The heparin worked a little too well on me too, although I didn't pass out or have to go back.

Keep pushing fluids and get sodium in! It will all help flush out the old blood & clear up the bruising.

Here's to a healthy 2009!

Well, thank goodness that may have been the problem. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Just keep thinking of how good you will feel in a few months, and get your rest and fluids.
