Hopefully home tomorrow. Saw the Dr this afternoon, and he said if I had not been on blood thinners, I wouldn't even have noticed this problem at all. I am able to eat and drink again, but have only had 3 ginger biscuits so far, and some squash and a cup of tea. I have ordered cheese and ham bake for tea, which sounded the most promising option for a meal. I can go back on the blood thinners in a couple of days' time. Dreading that.
Doing well with the reading and half way through the latest JD Kirk novel, A Rock and a Hard Place. Gabby bought me two more just in case I was in hear a longer time.
When she heard I'd not seen the Dr yet, she phoned up to see what was going on!!!
Glad that she'll be going off to Mexico on Monday, without the worry of me in here.
Enjoy your Friday. Thankyou for all your comments and kind thoughts and it is lovely to meet a few former lurkers - hope you will be regulars now.
Just catching up. Sorry to see you have been hospitalised but at least they will have run all the checks. Good news that you can go home tomorrow. Keep safe.
ReplyDeleteAt least I have peace of mind from the Scan which showed I didn't have bowel cancer, which took my dad and grandmother.
DeleteGlad you should be getting out soon. It must have been scary. How is it going to be managed from now on?
ReplyDeleteGood news that you'll be heading home soon...hospitals aren't exactly conducive to a restful experience! Thank you for the update....~Melanie
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't get a good night's sleep. Hard beds. . .
DeleteHard to say as I need the blood thinners. Hope I don't have a repeat of yesterday though.
ReplyDeleteHi I am so sorry you had this happen, the hospital must be so tedious for someone like you who stays so busy. Maybe it was a much needed few days of rest. Blood thinners are a difficult medication. I hemorrhaged badly due to not-well-considered routine blood thinners given during a hospitalization. I needed many blood transfusions, was in critical care for weeks, months in hospital. But that was poor choices by nurses and doctors. You will fare much better and be home soon.
ReplyDeleteNo flea market for you this weekend! [me being bossy]
love

Lovely to read you should be home soon.
ReplyDeleteSo difficult to sleep in a hospital. Josie
Just caught up.on your "adventure"...glad you have got back home x
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm just catching up. How terrible for you. I really hope you recover quickly and can go home. Being on a ward is lowsy for sleeping!
ReplyDeleteGosh - that was some drama you could've done without!! I"m glad you've been sorted out without needing surgery, and hope it really IS SORTED. I ended up with a stoma, after a ruptured bowel - caused by diverticulitis that I didn't know I had (I always just put it down to a "funny tummy", just like my father had). I lost a foot or two of colon, and have a permanent stoma - which is The BEST Thing I've Ever Had , and I wouldn't reverse it for the world! Bowel control is so much easier. If you've got bad diverticular disease you will know where I"m coming from. I'm glad Gabby will be able to relax on her holiday, but you will need to take it easy, and take the time to coddle yourself as you recover.
