Well here's the latest for today. This morning I threw up about 500ml of 'old blood'. After that I got a PICC line and more bloodwork which turned up some low numbers in something and they ordered 2 units of blood for me. I'm just finishing up the first one now and feeling quite a bit better than I was this morning!

My doctor thinks the bleeding stopped same day but that this big release from this morning was coming from my bowels as well as my stomach (sorry if it's TMI, it smelled like TMI too).

So the new estimate of when I'll be out is Sunday. It won't be earlier than then. They're keeping me much more comfortable here though than I could be at home I think. I've figured out the hospital bed fairly well and it's not causing me too much back pain.

Even after all this I still don't regret my choice. And I still got my clear liquids including crystal light today. My word I didn't know that Lemonade Crystal Light was made out of nectar from the gods!
