Default Update

Hello everyone just a quick update on my real life STUPIDUDITY! (is that a real word...lol). I was admitted into the hospital on Monday morning suffering from sever dehydration and MALABSORBTION (imagine that). Im not really sure what I was thinking (maybe I wasnt thinking after all) but after losing the weight and looking great I lost sight of the life long goal, STAYING ALIVE!

So after being scorned to hell by my surgeon, who clearly once again outlined how I could end up paralized and/or dead if I dont stick to my end of the deal. And being connected to IV's and given fluids, thiamine, b1, b12, iron...to name a few Im slowly beginng to feel close to normal. I was beginning to think I wouldnt make it through another night. The CT
Scan revealed that I have a obstruction that is contributing to my nausea and discomfort. I have NEVER liked taking meds/pills but after this near death experience they have made a believer out of ME.

My Surgeon said some pretty harsh words to me here are the ones I'm choosing to share. "Society is looking for a reason to discredit the need for GBS and its people like YOU that are given them a reason to believe they are right"!

So all of you out there when you read a blog like mine..that keep it real...tell it like it ti is...dont hold your tongue...says stupid is as stupid does...YOU JUST KEEP IT COMING THANK YOU FOR CARING......

Maybe writing and sharing my own STUPIDITY will help just one person to stay on track and take your vitamins, and supplements and drink plenty of liquids.
