Yuck. I had to have drain once when tney took. Vein out of leg to use elsewhere. Had to wear it for months... had 3 tubes to drain. Not too fun.
I guess i had been bleeding to for zwhile. Whay i threw up was black znd tarry. When i got to hospital, ,one doc tried putting in a nasal gastric tube, and it kep hitting back of throat, gaggin me and i lost it- projectile vomitted all over his coat. Talk about gross.
Sounds like you had a really rough go of it... you had MRSA? That is a nzsty staff infecfion if i reczll right? Im zlwzys nervous about getting staff infection, the flesh eatin kind (i think that is MRSA?)
((Getting old isn’t a game for the weak.))
True but we get to share war stories with others who have been through hell and back too (in my case peritonitis czused me to have zn near death experience... have shared it a few times on fr. “Went” to hell, not heaven... ugggh. [Althihgh its my bekeif it is misfiring synapses at point of dying, and not an actual experience of hell or heaven]).
My sis keeps after me to write a book about experiences lol. Its been a battle at times. (Just got out of hospital yeasterday for my 4’th zrm operation to remove cancer from sarcomas- they keep com8n back for some reason. If i do write a book, ill title it “mind over matter: if you don’t mind, it don’ matter” lol.
Anyway. Sorry to hear of your troubles, certainly,been a l9ng haul for you too from sounds of it. Hope all is going wellnow?
Yep ttue. I was young, full of life and too busy to be bothdred with research and whatnot it the time, a d felt invulnerable, like all young folks do i guess. Have matured since though (ie got wiser, not such a wreckless knothead lol)
