Thank You! I am home

I begin with a great big thank you! to all who kept me in their thoughts and prayers that past few days.  As many of you know I was trying to justify my exhaustion with the changes of WLS; however, last Wednesday morning I knew something was not right and I called my dr's office.  I was sent for blood test and obviously it was not right because they called and said I needed to get to the hospital ASAP.  I was losing blood ... great amounts of blood ... and what I thought was just odd bowel movements because of the surgery was indeed BLOOD.  See, I am a coumadin patient and my coumadin levels were at a toxic level and it was causing my internal suture sites to ooze blood.  So four pints of blood and four pints of platelets later and it seems I am on the mend.  I am so grateful to be home and hope that now I can really start this recovery business!

Wow!  Glad you are ok through all of this!  Keep us posted! Lori

Glad to hear that you are home and on the mends.  Hope they got the coumadin all straightened out!!!  Stay healthy!!! Caroline

Wow, that must have been scary.  So glad you are okay now and you went in to the doctor.   I've been wondering what happened and how you were doing.  Take care,  Linda

Oh my goodness!  I am so glad you are doing better.  Poor thing!

My goodness!  I am glad that you finally called and said something was wrong.  NOw you are on the mend and have turned over a new leaf of the recovery process for you.  Still prayin ' ......... Jennifer
