I still clearly remember how I had 2 laptops and 1 samsung tablet and my smartphone beside me at all times. The nurses, the physician and the staff was just amazing. My family was amazing. They endured all of this with me, supported me and suffered through my maniac mental conditions. I do remember my three kiddos visiting me - it was very hard for them - the oldest was 11, next was 6 and the youngest was only three. They put on a brave front but I could tell that they were terrified. My mom and my sister comforted them while they looked around my surroundings - medical equipment with beeps and cables - me laying on the bed - hair all wild and my face was still pretty messed up - hard to describe but let’s just say zombie like.
Yes, the combination of steroids, morphine and other pain medication and the other meds for my PV was clearly having a HUGE impact on my MENTAL HEALTH. I did not trust anyone including family members.
My condition did not improve after the first 24 hours. I was not able to eat - it was all Ensure. 100% I was having seven 320 Calorie version a day.
By the 2nd and 3rd days, there was some improvement on my face, my throat but my anal area was still crazy painful.... yes, I would scream in the middle of the night and the bathroom was always full of blood and no poop. I was pooping blood! My hemoglobin levels were too low... like 7-8 and the physicians wanted to do a blood transfusion... and I said NO!
COLONOSCOPY time! What???? Hmmm.... I don't know about this crap! I don't think so!!!! is what I said... of course my physicians convinced me that they wanted to make sure I did not have any other potential cancerous conditions up my butt! Hmm.... fine... but you will have to put me under!
The next day, I am wheeled off to the "procedure room" .... it was kinda funny because since the room was other end of the hospital, they had to get an Ambulance to transport me. Haha.... I thought that was a blast! Wheeeeee..... yes, I was still high and guess what? for my book, I will have pictures! :)
Mr CEO, Mr. CEO..... Mr.CEO! Wake up!!!! Wake up!!!!
That's what I heard and when I opened my eye, there were 4-5 nurses trying to wake me up. I suppose my body was happy to sleep and did not want to wake up for more than 3 hours.
Good news! No cancer found! Check!
Now what? Can I just go home already???? I guess not - :(
