Not my best day

GotGarlic · Jun 9, 2009

Hi, everyone. I haven't been feeling great the last couple of weeks. I ws pretty sure I knew why, and now I know for sure. My hemoglobin and hematrocrit are seriously down and I'm coming to you live from the hospital, where I'll be getting at least two, and possibly four, units of blood tonight and tomorrow. DH just left for home, but he left me with an old laptop, so I can hang out here tonight. He's such a sweetheart :wub:

So, hope everyone is having a better night than I am :glare:

Adillo303 · Jun 9, 2009

Not much, but, I am home. I hope the blod perks you up and you are raring to go by morning. I had to have tw units once and i made a big difference in a hurry.

Prayers, hugs and good wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks, Andy, I hope it makes a big difference fast :smile:

I haven't been able to walk upstairs without getting out of breath and exhausted.

Thanks, TG, I appreciate it

Adillo303 · Jun 9, 2009

It has been a long time since that, but, I remember just feeling drained and like I couldn't move, worse yet didn't care. Tow units of blood and I was feeling great. I hope it does the same for you.

Oh! yes dh is a nice man.

PieSusan · Jun 9, 2009

I am so sorry, sweetie pie. I bet the infusions will perk you up; I sure hope they do!

lilylove · Jun 9, 2009

Feel better soon!!!!

QSis · Jun 9, 2009

Awwwww, GG! I'm sorry you are under the weather and in the hospital, but at least you're not alone - you have US!

Your DH is very thoughtful!

Feel better soon!

Thanks, guys :smile:

It helps knowing y'all are out there, and having the forum gives me something else to think about.

Maverick2272 · Jun 10, 2009

Sorry to hear GG, but ya gotta love the wireless at the hospitals these days! Hope you get feeling better soon!

Miniman · Jun 10, 2009

Get better soon

Mama · Jun 10, 2009

I hope your better soon GG! I'll be praying for you. I'm glad you have a wonderful DH to take care of you.

GotGarlic · Jun 10, 2009

Thanks again, and Mama, he is the BEST - he came to see me this morning and brought me real coffee from home in a carafe, with my favorite creamer, and the newspaper :wub:

Haven't seen a doctor yet this a.m., so I don't know if I'll need more blood. I do feel better, but I haven't tried to go up any stairs yet

Will he marry me too?

Glad to hear you're feeling better. You'll be home soon I trust.

I hope you get better soon, and glad you are feeling better. It's hard to wait on the dr to come in to find out anything more. Hang in there and get well!

Funny story to cheer you up GG.

Several years ago, I was in "The Hospital for Bone and Joint diseases" in the middle of Manhattan. Normally, one would think that a hospital in Manhattan would be "stuffy" for the lack of a better word. About the second day there, I found out that Mcdonalds (across the street), the local chineese restaurant and the Pizza parlor, also close to McDonalds, all deliver to the room and it was OK with everyone. I just found ti funny.

Andy

To continue on, My Dr.'s name was Dr.Sherreff. HJD is a teaching hospital. he cam in on rounds with a bunch of students. I recall asking fo they were deuty shereff's. I am not sure what he ordered for meds after tht, but, I was asleep a long time.

RobsanX · Jun 10, 2009

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better!

pugger · Jun 10, 2009

You get well soon GG! :bounce:

Doc · Jun 10, 2009

Sorry to hear you are in the hospital GG, but glad that you are feeling better.

Hope your stay there is a short one.
WiFi in the hospital is way cool. It has to be a help to many patients who want to make contact with others who cannot come to the hospital, plus they can talk with all their online friends.

Thanks for the smile, Andy. I just talked to my best friend (other than DH) and she's bringing me Thai spring rolls and chicken satay for lunch.

This is a teaching hospital, too, which is cool. And my doctor has been with me for 20 years - he's a great guy and knows me very well, so that's comforting.

Cooksie · Jun 10, 2009

Get well soon! Something good to eat and a computer always helps make a hospital stay a little better.

VeraBlue · Jun 10, 2009

Hoping for a quick recovery! :kiss:

smoke king · Jun 10, 2009

Thoughts & prayers en route GG. Get Well Soon!!

BamsBBQ · Jun 10, 2009

you better get feeling better soon... i just sent you out your pork rub out and well it wont taste good on hospital food..no amount of spice will help you there..lol

all the best to you GG

GotGarlic · Jun 10, 2009

Well, I'm on my fourth unit of blood and might be going home tonight. I do feel better, and I can't wait to get home and hang out with the animals, including DH :wink:

Couldn't help myself there.

Bam, I'm really looking forward to trying that rub. I still have a 5-lb. pork butt in the freezer. I'll take it out as soon as I get home and will make some pulled pork out of it. I wonder if DH is ready to buy a smoker yet? Otherwise, it will have to be done in a Dutch oven, unless he wants to sit and watch it all day one day this weekend.

BamsBBQ · Jun 10, 2009

it is in my opinion that everybody should own a smoker...it should be a law or something... :yum:

Fisher's Mom · Jun 10, 2009

Awww, GG, I am so sorry you are in the hospital. Even with a laptop and a wonderful hubby and a good doctor, it still sucks! I'm sending you healing thoughts and wishes and I hope you'll get to go home soon.

Not my best day
