I don't post very much but love to read all the posts (sorry if there's spelling errors but I'm quite weak). Around three weeks ago the veins around my colon gave way & I had to be rushed to hospital, they kept me for two days then released me. The next morning I started to bleed badly & passed out on the bathroom floor, an ambulance was called & was told I was less than a quarter of a pint of blood from going to sleep & not waking up, they couldn't find a pulse & BP was 54 over 40. I'm home now but very weak & allowed up for a couple of hours a day then back to bed, thank goodness for my e-reader & my dvd's. It's great to sit in my comfy comp. chair & read all the posts especially the break room, just love all those posts. Have a great day ladies & gents & keep those breakroom posts coming. Love to you all.

Judith, that's awful. Is there going to be an ongoing treatment? In the meantime, rest up and get better.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Hi everyone; sitting here in my comfy chair with my heating pad & a cup of coffee, thank you so much for your kind thoughts. I think it was Lex that asked if the veins were weak & could it happen again, working on that so it doesn't happen again, it was a large blockage which stopped the blood flow & when that happens something has to give just like a dam, so you bleed out. I was told it will take quite awhile before I'm back to fighting speed. Oh well, one step at a time. Again thanks for all the good wished. Love to you all.

Like you Judith, I don't post very often but read the posts from other people everyday.
What a frighting experience to go through, so glad you are now safe at home in your comfy chair.
Stay safe and well.

Hi everyone; Still here & doing baby steps, one step forward & two back. I have to get a blood test every week which is painful because my veins collapsed when I was in the hospital & they haven't come back yet. I would like to thank the person who sent me a get well e-card, it really made my day. Most of the day I'm in bed but I have a lot of unread books on my e-reader that I'm catching up on. Stay well everyone, love Judy.

Hi everyone, still suffering from extreme anemia, I still having to go for blood tests & my veins are still not cooperating. The doctors are still ordering a lot of bed rest so it's still one day at a time. I would like to thank everyone who gives "The gift of life" because it was the 5 blood transfusions that saved my life. Sometimes we never think about it until you actually need it. Stay safe everyone & love to you all.
