Medical updates - serious shit
8 years ago
General
Soo figured to update everyone on my life and why things are going incredibly slow on my page.
Last month about the 13th I was in severe pain..by this point I had been bleeding (period) from the 1st of November to at this point..I'm extremely anemic and was already having some serious issues with everyday living..including panic attacks and feeling like I can't stand up very long.
I went to the ER and I passed a soft ball size blood clot..no joke..would share but its painfully graphic..took a picture for my doctors.
After it passed I was in no more pain, however they checked my blood and it was at a 4 which they will let you leave at a 7 and normal is close to 20. So obviously this was a serious concern and I was admitted for a blood transfusion.
In total I had three units of blood and stayed over night to insure I was okay. This is extremely serious, and I could've died from this..as there was little blood oxygen in my brain which could've caused coma.
I'm obviously taking medicine for my anemia as I should have been in the first place however its so much more serious then ever.
I do have fibroid(s) in my uterus which causes excessive bleeding and lots of pain..unbearable pain..though with this episode..I decided the best course of action is getting a hysterectomy. I will be getting a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy done which is less invasive then getting a huge cut into my tummy..and good chances are I'll need another transfusion to insure I make it out of there okay. I am currently at a 6 for blood.
I will be getting this done the 3rd of January..its been just..so crazy the past couple months..
I only just recently stopped bleeding past couple days I was bleeding for a month and few days..insane..amount of time..and super serious.
I figured this update was needed as people do tend to wonder what's going on. Everything is on hold, depression really takes it tole when you're going through this..and I am diagnosed with it so its been rough..thank the gods for medicine.

I had a similar experience last year after having my baby, only we found out I have cancer. If you need someone to talk to about the serious, or not so serious, stuff, I'm here for you sweetie. Depression is the enemy, surround yourself with the things you love most! Chin up! You'll get through this!
