whats been going on
whats been going on
so here is the scoop from then til now with my health...
End of May/ Beginning of June: started getting a little sick... loosing a lot of blood. Went to the doctor and and she put me on birth control (to stop the bleeding), and iron. the normal daily allowance of iron for an adult is 18 mg. she had me on 975 mg. so that hurt me alot in the bowel and stomach area. .... the didn't stop.
July 9: woke up, stood up. head went fuzzy, couldn't hear, arms and legs went numb. went to the emergency room. I got 3 units of blood, kept me over night...
recovered after that.. was good for about a week.
July 17thish... started feeling really sick. stomach started killin me.. couldn't sleep.. back killed. i could feel blood slowly dropping.. couldn't really walk anymore..
July 27th. had a drs. appt. did an ultrasound. they couldn't see part of my uterus or my left ovary. but they chalked it up to being on all the iron and wrote me a scrip to get it fixed, sent me off to get blood drawn and home.
i had been home from a few hours and the phone rings... my blood level had dropped and my infection level in my body was 30,000. the normal humans level is 10,000. i had to go back and get admitted. I had to have 2 more units of blood through transfusion. we went in and had a cat scan. it showed a absess the size of a softball in my pelvis, immediatley started antibilotics and started to come up with a plan. they put a drain in my stomach that went to that area to try to drain the mass. 2nd cat scan. drs. decide they want to go into my stomach amd try to figure out what was going on. they tested everything there was to test in my stomach, and everything came back negative. they were stumped. so one MORE cat scan to look at my stomach. the next morning (i lost track of what days were what) and the drs. were going to come in and explrain what the surgery they wanted to do what going to entail.
he came in and just said. well i don't know what to tell you.. but the mass has competely disappeared. they had no clue where it went, what happened to it.. nothin...
i was healed.
so they sent me home...
the bleeding started again... and i put up with it for a while. then i made a drs appt to get it fixed.
august 27: went to drs appt. she upped my dosage and sent me off to get blood drawn and then home... a few hours later. the phone rings..
"Miss Mowry, you are no longer allowed to drive. your blood level has dropped to a 5.4. (the normal blood level is 12ish). so i had to wait for my mom to come home and off i went. i was told one night, more blood. thats it. yeah until they decided to poke around. they decided they were going to do another ultrasound. so they did that, and another cat scan.
cat scan results come back.. infection in the same area. part of my colon was swollen and my appendix was inflamed. whoo hoo.. expect i can't be normal..had to stump the dr. again. i was in NO pain. NO fever and my infection level was normal.
ultrasound results came back.. not good. ( i won't go into it for the sake of guys)
we decided we were going to do a DNC and my dr wanted to go ahead and go into my stomach and check it out.
august 31;;;; surgery day. terrified.. gave me happy meds...nice.. dr went into my stomach. turns out, the infection was leftover from the lasts time, that had just re aggrivated itself. so he cleaned it out my himself with his own hands.. also while in there, just went ahead and took out my appendix. the DNC went well, no complains. i wake up in recovery and i can't breathe. i'm still intubated. nurse comes over, takes it out. come to find out. my body wouldn't come out of the amnesia. my brain wasn't working fast enough to wake myself up or even tell me to breathe. so they had went to un-intubate me while i was out, and oops.. my lung collapsed.
so i've been in recovery since. in losts of pain... on perkaset (sp) and vallum. nice.. i loved the dalotted (sp).. it was nice too..
my stomach his just a wreck.
