Got out of hospital yesterday and everything went pretty well. Had some wicked nausea that couldn't be controlled. 5 different meds tried then the 6th one worked.

Glad it went well.

Well things got complicated Friday night. Started having bright red blood in my stools (sorry if TMI) which surgeon said was fresh bleeding. Went to ER and waited almost 4 hours to be seen. Admitted Saturday morning with acute hemorrhage but no transfusion was needed. Bleeding stopped on its own and they sent me home Sunday afternoon. Glad to be home!

So sorry you had these issues! Hopefully your journey will get smoother.

Thank you. I thought "hey I'm doing pretty good, not taking any pain or nausea meds at home" and then WHAM! I was in the hospital. I was pretty bummed out but feeling better now!
