I am in the hospital

Moose72 · Nov 03, 2024 at 06:34 PM

I told them about it in the ER.

Moose72 · Nov 04, 2024 at 03:49 PM

I’m still here. They doubled my blood thinner dose and want to watch me until tomorrow morning. I see my primary doctor on Wednesday. The colonoscopy went well. I have hemorrhoids inside. One must’ve burst. That just a guess.

Ohhh honey, I hope things get better soon. Sorry you are going through all of this. Let us know the official dx, hopefully it is just from the hemorrhoids. Rectal bleeding is scary, my brother has ulcerative colitis. How are you holding up being cooped up in the hospital?

They let me out this morning. Vitals normal no more bleeding. Dr said it was internal hemorrhoids that were bleeding. I left before the nurse could go over discharge instructions by mistake but she called and said she’d snail mail me a copy and she emailed a link so I can set up a portal to see my results too. My back started hurting this morning from being in that bed for days. But I’m out now! Follow up with primary dr Thursday.

Glad to hear you're out of the hospital!

Moose72 · Nov 05, 2024 at 05:39 PM

I have a follow up appointment Thursday with my primary dr.

In other news, paid most of my bills. Now broke! Last one gets paid on the 7th. My cat is happy to see me.

I am sure it nice to be home. Lots of kitty snuggles is icing on the cake. Glad you are ok, hemorrhoids suck, just glad it was nothing worse.

Glad to hear you're okay! Must've been scary!

Yes because one of the causes the doctor said was cancer!

I think she meant the rectal bleeding was a sign of cancer, not a cause.

My dad had like super duper hemorrhoids, but not cancer. The surgeon said, (can you hear the voice, seems appropriate!) "Like youve never seen!" Accordion hands. We need an accordion hands emoji. Its only fair

Yeah, lotta scary causes of rectal bleeding. Cancer, tears that need surgery, infections like diverticulitis, ulcers...

I see my primary dr this morning. It’s only 6:15 am right now. I’m at Starbucks. Trying to be a little more lively. I was up at 4. No coffee buddy today. I think the prices have gone up at sb recently. I asked the barista but she was non comital in her reply.

Moose72 · Nov 07, 2024 at 06:27 AM

I took Miralax this morning. The dr at the hospital said that was ok

My coworker was just saying today that he heard Starbucks is losing business because they have gotten so expensive.

I hope your appointment went well!

Moose72 · Nov 08, 2024 at 04:55 AM

My appointment went well. The CT scan I had showed a large cyst on one of my ovaries. Having an ultrasound on the 18th to see what that’s about. I missed my period last month and the cyst could very well have caused this but everybody just keeps saying “menopause”.
