To The Emergency Room I Go...

Well I had my surgery on 7/24/12 and a few days after I felt great despite the gas. About the 6th day post-op I started feeling very fatigued, to the point I could barely get up. I mentioned to the doctor that I had dark tarry stool and they ran some test and said I was better then when I was there surgery day.

Well early this morning I began to throw up blood and my stool was bloody red. I called them and they said to get to the ER as fast as I can.

I am very very fatigued, cloudy headed and to be honest with you regretting this decision. I wanted to do this to better my life for my kids and myself. Now all I can think about is if they will be able to manage life without a father.

I hope this is something they can quickly diagnose and resolve and I am back to normal, my fear is they had a chance to diagnose originally but did not so they don't know what's going on.

Obviously this surgery isn't 100% and it shouldn't be perceived as so, I guess that's where I was wrong. All I could see was a healthier me that I stopped considering the possibilities of major issues. I don't want to live my life weak and wiltered like this. It's the complete opposite reason for me doing this.
