All kinds of funky stuff happening this week. Hospital gave me some hellasious laxative that had everything running straight through me.. It's not fun at all to crap your pants consistently all day, but that's finally resolved thankfully. The catheter they put in me made it nearly impossible to pee on time. The first inkling of needing to pee turns out to wet my pants as well..I'm finally getting better at getting to the can on time..
Cardiologist told me that the overwhelming majority of people who go into this kind of shock also suffer heart attacks and I managed to avoid it. Evidently my heart is in better shape than I thought.
My gut got really bloated so none of my pants fit right. The best I can do it to zip my pants, but can't fasten them so I zip em up and use my belt
This really blows.
Oh well..it could be worse. I could have kicked off or had brain damage. Just writing this post has taken me about an hour. Everything feels really slow
I don't recommend that anyone try hemorrhagic shock for any reason whatsoever. It's been just short of a week now and it feels like 6 months or more. I have no idea how long it'll take to heel properly.
Thanks for the well wishes..
Sorry to hear you're going through this & I'll continue to hope only the best.
