I've been MIA for 10 days because I was in the hospital. I am not going
to say a lot because there isn't a lot but things of illness to say.
But I had severe diarreah and really low instead of high blood pressure.
Which is really odd. Anyway, I ended up having to get Steroids to get
the mess to stop, and then I had a colonoscopy on Thursday after having
the prep that I was trying to avoid on Wednesday night. But it went
better than expected, I got the prep down in 50 minutes which I was so
proud of.
The results are colitis. And exactly ischemic colitis and celiac artery atherosclerosis. Now I will let you look it up if you want to know more
about either one. I can't exactly explain it right now.
I had ulceratitus colitis about 20 years ago, and its in remission. THey
thought in the beginning that it had returned.
The other thing that really was odd, was that I came up at about 7pm
on that Tuesday night I believe the 7th of December, all the sudden
with the problem of Diarreah and then fainting.
It seems by almost 11:30pm I had fainted 3 times. The second time
Derrick couldn't get me up by himself, so he had called Dale to
come help. And he came not realizing that I was fainting on Derrick
he tried just getting me up thinking it would then be me going to my
bed. But I went right back down. Then I guess I took him down with
me. A few minutes later, I do remember asking him how I got back down
there. Anyway I had a mess all over, and he got me cleaned up and
then we made a plan to get me up and to the bed, by using a chair.
It worked. I went to the hospital the next morning, other than starting
IV and other things there wasn't anything they could do that night.
And its been a big mess in the ER's during the night usually a 4 to 5
hour wait so I didn't want to wait there.
So off we went the next day. I came home yesterday afternoon.
So I'll be back when I can.
ITs nice to be home.
