Today seems to be a much better day. I had to have a blood transfusion last night, which definitely helped with my fatigue.

I kind of knew my surgery would be risky. I have a genetic blood clotting disorder, and I take a blood thinner daily. In preparation for the surgery, I had to switch to a shorter-acting medication so that I wouldn't bleed as much during the surgery. But my hematologist started me back on the thinners on day 2 post op. Apparently, that's what caused the massive internal bleeding. So, when they do start the thinners again, I'll be hospitalized just in case I start to bleed again. It's all very tricky because I had a massive PE (blood clots in my lungs) in 2013. Without the anticoagulants, I could clot. With them, I could bleed.

As it is, I feel much better today than I did on Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully, the worst is behind me. Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers. They meant a lot.
