In the Hospital
I knowits hard to think of being back in the hospital as positive but at least I'm no longer home slowly bleeding to death. The bleeding from my colonoscopy got a lot worse by Sunday afternoon so called the ER. I was told I needed to get right in so I did. Guess somewhere from wednesdays INR check and Sunday evening my INR went from 1.9 to 3.9 which was inhibiting the healing process from the colonoscopy and having the polyps removed. The took me off all blood thinners for the time being to see if maybe that would stop the bleeding and so far it seems to be working. MY INR is currently sitting at 3.0 and I have pretty much stopped bleeding internally. The Gastro doc really doesn't wantto go back in and recauterize me as we will be looking at the same thing we have gone through twice before now. So here I sit in the hospital where they can watch me and stabalize my INR and hopefully let me heal. If all goes well I might get to eat some soft food tomorrow. Gads I sure hope so................... I am so hungry..................I even tried bribing my daughter into making me a big pan of homemde lasaguana but she merely frowned at me. OH well she was extra tired today as she also went to a special confrence at OMG thirty this morning on Trauma. My daughter wrks as a physicians substitute and an EMT and is going to college to get her degree as trauma RN nurse with an assocoates degree. I keep wondering where she gets her smarts from, must be her Dad's side. Anyway here I sit drinking my liquids thinking of lasaguana.HUGSFerr

Hi Ferr,
I\'m soooo sorry to hear that you\'re back in hospital but really hope that they can sort you out this time. Its really your turn to have some good news - you\'ve been through so much lately and you\'re such an inspiration to us all with your good humour! Thinking of you - Sandi x
OMG Ferr, that is frightening for you. In one respect it all seems very full on and on the other respect it seems good that they haven\'t needed to go back in there. Thinking of you - and if I were you I would put pressure on for home cooked meals - that is of course if hospital food over there is as bad as it is over here.
Keep us informed
Erin
Maybe she\'ll agree to blend the lasagne? :-)
Hope you\'re feeling ok whilst healing. Time to catch up on some much needed sleep, I would think. Take care and keep us updated on your progress!
Sorry to hear your in the hospitl, but now maybe you can heel, hope you can eat soon!!
