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.

Thanks for your kind words....your a peach to say so!! And you called me a young woman...so cool...

So glad you're doing better. Let's hope it stays that way!

Glad you're feeling better! I hope it's smooth sailing from here on out!

Thank you to everyone for your concern and positive thoughts. I'm told that I'm healing well and will go home tomorrow. The surgeon could not find the source of the bleeding as it had stopped by the time he went in there. He checked my spleen and staple line and all good. Trying to keep a positive attitude but I'm having some difficulty. I was so positive post op for 4 days.

Yeah that they found nothing and you will go home soon to your own bed. I know that will make you feel so much better. God bless you and you will be positive again.

Lol, well u are:)) and u r welcome

How very scary Andrew. I'm so glad you are heading home tomorrow. Hang in there, and let that positive attitude come back. It's tough after what you've been through, but keep your eye on the prize.

Here's a positive thought for you, look how this community has responded to your post. Could you have imagined this many people could be so caring and supportive?

Sending you hugs and prayers. Hang in there.
