Just so everyone knows, I thought I'd I would inform them in here. Sunday evening I started to bleed heavily. When we called the on-call emergency doctor and were told to go to an emergency walk-in clinic because the bleeding was not slowing or letting up and I was passing large clots, we were seen by a doctor at the clinic who tried to examine me but couldn't for all the blood. I was sent immediately, by ambulance, to Leicester General where I continued to bleed and pass clots (my baby :\\\'() all night until morning when they knew that I was just going to continue bleeding if they didn't get me into surgery, which is what they did. I had lost a lot of blood and my blood pressure was dangerously low...of course, I really didn't care then, I wanted them to let me bleed to death. I had the surgery to stop the bleeding and was sent back to my room where they monitored my blood pressure and gave me saline and glucgose via an IV for hours, until they were satisfied enough with my blood pressure rate and blood count (which was still low but no longer low enough to hold me there) to let me go home; I didn't want to stay there any longer than I had to.
So, I am home now, and off work for two weeks per doctor's orders...not that I could go back now if I wanted to, and I don't want to - I really don't want to ever again. I'd prefer to never leave this flat ever again. Every time I sit up my head feels like it's going to explode from the blood loss that will take a while to right itself. I, on the other hand, don't feel like I'll ever be right again. I know I will...it just doesn't feel that way right now.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know here. I'm going back to bed now.
