My turn for hospital 🙄

[Chelle_]

So I've had black tarry stools for the past few days and gave thrown up about a litre of blood today and now I'm in hospital messaging you from my bed....whilst hooked up to drips! Heamaglobin is 10, urira (I think) is 47.....apparently that's not good....I have varicose galore bleeding on my tummy and may go down for emergency op soon.....ooooosh certainly not what I expected today 🤔

[Eadaoin]

Hi Chelle. I've been where you are - with an internal bleed. It's scary but eventually manageable.  I felt awful and very breathless.  A&E failed to understand the blood results even though my Hb was only 8.   After three days as an inpatient I was discharged and sent home with just a diagnosis of "Collapse" and feeling no better. I had been seen by 7 doctors over those 3 days and they were all mystified. Luckily I am under an excellent London Haematology Unit. My Surgery faxed the blood test results and I immediately got a phone call telling me to call an ambulance and get to the Unit. By then my Hb was 6. Moral of the Story:  If taken into hospital 1. Ask to see the Haematologist on Call if you think it is a blood related matter   2. Study your blood results and learn to interpret them for yourself  3. Wear a Medic Alert bracelet with all your information on it.  Wishing you better soon.

Hope all is well and you are feeling better soon Michelle.   Best wishes from Lancashire xx

[monnywese]

Oh dear, Chelle - what a shock.  I am sure the hospital will get this sorted, but I am sorry you have to go through this.  All the best wishes for a good recovery. Marilyn

[beetle]

Sorry to hear of your problems. Just to make you smile though: my partner does not have English as a first language and I had a similar problem with black stools. Not understanding what was actually meant he told my family I had black mushrooms! Bless!  I certainly hope you will feel better soon and that your mushrooms return to their normal colour ASAP! 🙂

[ElsieR]

Poor old you, how scary. Trust they will sort you out soon - as you can see all your MPN mates are routing for you. Twinkly is now on the mend so you must copy her soon. It would appear you have moved away from the London area to the seaside, how lovely. God Bless, love Elsie xx  

[Helen1952]

My goodness that does sound scary .

Hope they sort you really guickly xx

[chrissie1959]

Hope you better soon , and speedy recovery xxx

[Lunacdh]

Just curious did you have any symptoms prior to this happening. 

God speed!

[johoho]

Oh Chelle, so sorry youre going through this.  Im quite ignorant about what youre going through so have no idea how all this came about for you, i just wish you a speedy return to normal and a low stress stay in hospital.  I hope they look after you really well. Xx

[katiewalsh]

So sorry to hear this. If it's an internal bleed my husband, who had a bleeding duodenal ulcer, and had identical symptoms,  had it cauterized  and it's been good ever since.  But you're right, it's scary.  They put him on protonix (omeprazole) to control stomach acid. Good luck. Keep us posted.  Katie

[mark382]

Sounds really scary and unpleasant for you.  Hope they get you sorted out and you are on the mend quickly. Mark

[Aime]

[Chelle_]

Hello you lovely supportive lot! Thank you, when your feeling down about things there is nothing better than reading messages from your virtual friends wishing you well. 

So I am still in hospital, I collapsed in Wednesday night with everything going totally wrong, bleeding, being sick....etc..... No gory details needed. Straight in to an Acute Medical Ward pumped full of drugs, some that reverse the effects of my warfarin and some that are antibiotics and I think there were too two others going into various veins. Since then I have had an ODG for my varicies; just 3 this time, chest X-ray and ultra sound. Nothing as yet.....however......the medication to reverse the warfarin I had an allergic reaction too, hot skin and swelling....although it took them a while to believe me.... My tummy has started to swell so it's definitely become more of a liver issue but there not as friendly over there. The ultrasound showed ascities in my stomachse, so two night ago they did a tap.....ouch, but to no avail. 

Seen the doctor this morning and he has said that we are going to do a guided tap instead to remove the fluid. I then mentioned that I have pain in my shoulder and they think I might have an issue with my gallbladder......

So all in all I am ok.

Although I am not going to go home just yet........I will keep you updated.

Thank you for the wonderful messages. They really are appreciated. 

[Aime in reply to Chelle_]

Thinking about you and hope everything gets sorted out as quickly as possible.  Take one step at a time and know with each step we are all with you. Aime xxx😺

[Hidden in reply to Chelle_]

Hi Chelle my lovely, so good to see the update from you. Just wondered how it's going now. You still in hospital or have you been able to go home? Let us know how it's going and I am thinking of you and sending you all good wishes . I have everything crossed that things improve for you soon. Lizxx

[Chelle_]

So I best give you lovelies an update, so today is day 8 in hospital. I am waiting on the results of the CT scan and have managed to have a successful Guided Tap to remove the ascities on my tummy. The diuretics are also working wonderfully and I look also back to normal.

I am extreamely anemic, so they are wanting to do a Farinjet IV at some point but obviously knowing it might mess with my bloods need to contact the Heam team in Bournemouth.

I do however have an infection in the place where my canullaur was, so am on more antibiotics. 

I think that's ant it for now. I am hoping to hear if I have qualified for the Great North Run in September this week, so I will be running and raising money for MPN Voice. 

I hope your all well.

Chelle
