Rushed to hospital 5 days post op

I was rushed to the hospital last night via ambulance after experiencing severe pain and nausea, in the middle of a snowstorm.

My blood pressure was 60/25 which I'm told is extremely dangerous. Pumped me with fluids and BP came up to 107/55.

Cat scan revealed bleeding and they are still not sure what's going on. May have more surgery. Pain is still pretty bad.

Praying for your fast recovery and they stop the bleed. How frightening this must be for you and your family. Positive thoughts coming your way.

Andrew I will keep you in my thoughts and I send you much love.

Andrew I'm saying prayers for you also. You'll look back on this one day and say "What a bad weekend, remember when...."

severe pain and nausea

andrew

saw your posts from day 3 when you had low grade fever, stomach gurgling problems issues - now nausea, pain, very low blood pressure :(

glad you stayed on top of this and realized "something" wasn't right :wacko:

we always need to listen to our bodies!!!!

they will tell you what you need/should do

don't ignore any signs et al - call doc or if needed go immediately to ER

hope things get figured out soon

I'm so sorry "if" surgery is necessary :(

I hope with meds, your pain situation improves

take care of yourself

healing thoughts going your way :)

Sending you HUGE positive thoughts!

OMG, please feel better soon. Prayers sent!!!!

Praying for you!

Andrew! How flipping scary...that BP is sooooooo low. I'm glad you called for help when you did (to hell with the blizzard!!). Too many people wait thinking they'll start to feel better... you will bounce back in no time with an extra staple or two and some more super glue. (sorry I have a very dark sense of humor). {{{gentle hugs}}}

Best wishes Andrew. I hope your surgeon has gotten on top of this quickly and fixed the problem. Heartfelt prayers!

Prayers to you and your family andrew

GL Tami!

Andrew I hope you are ok. May God be with you and you get back on the road to recovery.

Oh no, I hope they get your bleeding under control ASAP. Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts.
