New Hope
Finally home from the hospital after spending all of September, (except for a week), in the hospital. My Dr's. think they may have found the cause of my internal bleeding problem. Some sutures from a previous stomach surgery were scraping and repeatedly breaking open an ulcer causing it to bleed uncontrollably.
After 8 months of in and out of the hospital, I have a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted to keep my heart beating, a stent placed due to the heart attack I had on Easter morning, several more blood transfusions, an incredibly painful stomach surgery....I am soooooooooooo done. We are all saying our prayers and keeping our fingers crossed. I still feel like crap but they say that will take time. Almost 3 years of bleeding and blood transfusions and congestive heart failure, I guess it will take a while to feel almost human. I am just glad to be alive. In March I had 2 months to live. Now I can look more forward to the future.
Thanks to my wonderful husband, my Mom, and my husband's family, I have had a great support group.
