More about the Ick
(The WiFi from the cafe below is very spotty (and good for me on all night) so not sure when this will go out.)
Thank you all so much for all of your kind messages, texts, calls and comments. I really really appreciate them so much!
I thought I was past the trouble of last week but it came back, with a vengeance, on Tuesday evening. Things were fine, stuff was almost all packed then the burning at the bottom of my stomach. Within 2 hours it was so overwhelming that I couldn't stop vomiting and an hour later when I decided it was time to go back to the hospital, I couldn't make it past the stairs down to the living room. My hands and feet felt really thick, like I was wearing huge pads and I couldn't keep my eyes open or get to my knees. This unfortunately entailed a call to 911 and an ambulance ride to the hospital. Then the wires and the tubes and the beeping and the screaming and the drugs and all of that.
The issue is that the previously found ulcers in my jejunum (large intestine) are unhappy. (I think this is because our identity as a Cylon is out and they're trying to turn the rest of me on.) They were bleeding recently and this may have caused the problem. They have talked about removing the damaged part of said large intestine (extremely damaged actually) and fixing it up in there, which they say isn't all that big a deal. It would cause some immune system deficiency for a short while. And I would experience a period where I could not eat anything that had any flavor or substance.
The intent at present is to look at all of the tests and such to see if there is a medicinal way to treat it. I hope this is the case but in any case I just want it done and over. If medicine will do that, awesome. If cutting out parts will, then let's get it over with now.
