Default Stick a Fork in Me, I'm Done

I'll try and make this as short as possible.

Oct 07 had surgery to remove all my colon. Recovered from that and was doing well.

Few weeks ago was weak and faint and at one point passed out. Went to the doctor. They did blood work. Found out I'm severely anemic. They put me in the hospital and give me 3 units of blood. Then send me to the GI doctor to find out why I'm losing blood. I'm scheduled next week for a scope to see if I have a bleeding ulcer or if I'm not absorbing iron. But if those aren't the reason then it's probably something to do with the surgery and they'll probably need to open me back up, which ain't happening. I've made up my mind on that.

Two days ago DH was out of breath. Take him to the doctor. They rush him by ambulance to hospital. He has blood clots in both lungs and in his leg. They give him meds to thin his blood.

DH has his own business. He was able to get released from the hospital this morning to attend an important meeting with his 1 big client...who promptly fired him.

So now we're both having serious health issues and he doesn't have work.

I don't know if it's because of being anemic but I'm emotionally numb right now. Maybe it's because I'm tired. All I know is, I'm done. I'm done.
