My Hospital Adventure by Glenda Parker

So I want to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes. I haven't felt well since Christmas but couldn't really tell you what was wrong. I started having problems with being light headed and dizzy. My daughter, a nurse, advised me to try Electrolytes and that did help. I was exhausted all the time. On Thursday my neck and back started aching.  I hurt enough that I didn't go to my great grand daughter's program and our church fellowship. I wasn't able to sleep well but went to prayer on Friday morning and breakfast but didn't stay long as the pain came back. I spent that day in my recliner with a heat pad.

Saturday was worse. I started having muscle spasms on the left side of my back. That night I wasn't able to sleep at all. It hurt to sit and it hurt to lie down. The only relief I found was taking a pulsing shower. That would las for about an hour. I was taken Tylenol and Ibuprofen every three hours. Finally Sunday I got dressed and went to the hospital. All i wanted was something for pain.

Because of where the pain was the doctor ordered an EKG. All my vitals were fine. She ordered a blood test. She told me I would have to call someone to take me home. Not a problem and I texted my daughter. I explained where I was and someone needed to come get my car. I needed someone to take over the coffee bar and greet as I wouldn't be able to be there that morning. They needed to pray for me. The doctor soon came back and told me I wasn't going anywhere. My hemoglobin was only at a four when it should be an eleven. After a Ct scan they were finally gave me morphine as that would help oxygenate my blood.

It was St. Patrick's Day so I had corned beef and cabbage. I received two pints of blood and did feel better. I had dry heaves after lunch so no more Morphine. I was finally able to sleep. Monday my regular doctor came and told me they found a slow leak in my small intestines. I would see a surgeon the next day. My family came to seen me. It was a long day and still painful.. What they gave for pain made me ill so I went on just Tylenol. Tuesday morning my doctor came and told me the surgeon wouldn't be in because it bleed was in a place where he couldn't reach. She was going to send me home. I needed another unit of blood but I could leave after that. I would have to make an appointment in Omaha at the Medical Center.

An hour later the surgeon came. I really liked him. He was really concerned and told me he would be making arrangements for my procedure. He told me to stay in the hospital and take it easy. I still only had a third of the blood I should have. Then my doctor sent me home. My children were very upset since they had talked to the surgeon.

I will now go to Omaha on April 8th. They will use the capsule with the camera to find the leaks and take care of it. I'm trying to take it easy and I'm doing much better. I look forward to having all this over. Thank you again.
