Fine 2day. Call doc Monday. I hate ER. Waiting means I get excellent care not the nightmare of the emergency room. It's most like a new or new varices. Thank you for caring. I exercised 2 hours in the sun 2day and am whooped but it sure feels nice. Aloha

Catfish ! It is a wonder you are not in hospital already. This happened to me at least twice before the transplant. I vomited so much blood and had to have several transfusions. Oh damn and I only just posted how good I am feeling at the moment. I hadn't read your post. Have you varices that are bursting ? That was my problem. My heart goes out to you. PLEASE INSIST on hospital. You must have your HB level checked. Under 6-7 means transfusion. I once went down to 4. I don't want to sound a KNOW ALL but other than the blood coming up I didn't feel that I had these low levels all the time. Once however, I did have to fight to stay awake. I remember now seeing the ambulance men look at each other and shaking their heads. If you are able to let us know how you are. Don't stay ALONE. All the best and many, many hugs, thoughts and kisses !!!

Agreee with Louise. Went through that with my dad. He didn't always "feel" how low his hemoglobin levels were either. (The nurses said your body adapts to many things and this is one of them). It became his "norm" or baseline just like his low blood pressure among other things... And he needed transfusions many times too. At the end he had internal bleeding and was at a 4.

I have had interal bleeding twice 2003 again 2014 and both times I almost died.

Oh no. I remember my dad having it bad in 2010 and me finding him covered in blood at his home. I hope you are ok catfish! Let us know!

It's ok thus far. Jeez that must have been shocking for you. Fortunately I was alone and went thru it alone but I felt like I was the one actor in a horror film and the only person watching. I will never forget it.

@catfishjumping, bless your strength and honesty, I hope it stops - I know they can stop it in hospital, which might mean a short stay. My husband did the same, it didn't stop but I am glad I got him into ER because they managed his pain and he passed peacefully. I truly believe life is one part of our journey. Thinking of you honey, I really do hope it stops xxx

Nope I just hoop danced in the sun two hours worshiping my life. My life. My choice. I enjoy being cared about but no one is my decision maker other than me of course my dying one day will over power me and that's when I will choose to give in. ❤️

Catfishjumpin in reply toAlphi365

Also juicy Lucy I am home. I leave here one day to enter again being part of the universe. You will not find me in heaven hanging around. But you can go home one day if you believe in it. Only advice I came here for is liver disease knowledge.

It's all water under the bridge now my dear. Thank you. I hope you are feeling good today. I actually went to the beach today and hoop danced almost two hours. Yes I could start bleeding again but no I decided if I die from it that's how I want to go, engaged in my love and adoration for life and my people and my planet. I am happy. Be happy. ❤️💕❤️

Catfish. I love how nothing seems to get you down.!! I say go for it live life. It's so short anyway. We don't have a choice over how we die most of the time but we can choose how we live. 😘

I'm a little jealous that you get to enjoy a beach and lots of sunshine on your front door step. All I have is dreary Reading. Meh.

PS. I know what you mean about a and e or ER. Xx

Thank you. Its beautiful here this morning, the most perfect day but I cannot go out into the light some days. I am too ill. I must rest in my room in dim lighting or no lighting. Today I will not be able to enjoy the light. No energy for it. Makes me very sad to be this way so I live on memories when I was wise enough to enjoy every moment of life and spend almost all my time outside everyday for entire days. I knew this day would arrive, still I have hope. I believe I will cycle this week, its just a matter of time and rest. I really appreciate your Support suggesting I keep on living. There is much joy and hope whenever someone says to me what you have here. Thank you.

When you are so sick the illness takes over and you forget the whole point to live. Thinking of you and hope you get a little bit of sun tomorrow or today. Send some my way please. Xx

Hi catfish , nice to hear from you , I was talking to someone today at the liver unit at the queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham England , as we were taking you came in to my head 🌸. He had a liver transplant 17 yrs ago , he overcame colon cancer , and now has prostrate cancer , he has bad days and good , but his view was regardless of how we are in our own journey he lives his best days to the full . Why be miserable ? It on my makes you feel as if your wasting what precious time we have left . So I send you lots of positive thoughts. My best wishes Linda X
