I'm finally home.... - ThinnerTimes

Well hello all. I am finally home from the hospital. I had a few complications but I am doing better now. The second night I was in the hospital I ended up with some internal bleeding. My blood pressure went way down and I began to run a fever. This is kind of nasty so those of you with a weak stomach might not want to read the next line. I began voiding blood by the toilet fulls. Things have quited down a lot and I am finally starting to feel a little better. I was released from the hospital yesterday and I am currently staying with my sister. I am able to keep about 12oz of fluids down a day, I'm hoping that will do for now. Well, because I am staying with my sister I am unable to get on line very often, however I did want to get on to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I'm on the losing side, yippy, yippy.

Glad you're back! Sorry to hear of your complications. Glad things are starting to look up. You need 64 oz of fluids a day. It is almost impossible to do that at first but you have to try. Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk, rest, rest rest that's the secret to success!!!!! Take care of yourself and please let us know how you are doing! I've missed you!

Thanks, I am really trying to get the liquid in, it's just so hard.

Kristy it is great that you are home and feeling much better. You have made it through to the other side. We are proud of you. You should be proud of you too. This is a hard thing to do. Now it is time to get some rest so you can get some of your energy so we can start walking a lot more. Sip, Sip and Sip. That was the hardest thing for me at first. I hoping to hear from you soon. My prayers are with you Kristy. Stay strong.
