So much has changed...
Aug 05, 2010
Hi, everyone. Been about 7 months since I posted. I'm doing well...now...but had something horrible happen back in February. Don't take life for granted.... it could be gone in an instant. I fainted two times on Friday 2/12, not knowing what was wrong. My husband called 911, an ambulance rushed me to the ER. I was suffering from an ectopic pregnancy, complete surprise and shock to the both of us. I had lost about half of my blood count, had no white blood cell count, and no blood pressure to speak of. I was almost "on my way out." They did an emergency surgery to remove the ruptured embryo, one ovary and part of my uterus. After a very large blood transfusion (I needed HALF of my blood replenished) and slowly, over that weekend, my blood count came back up to normal.I still feel every day is a miracle and a blessing. I thank God for my husband, who knew just by the grey/white looks of me, that something wasn't right...and he called 911. I thank God for the doctors that did everything they could quickly, to save my life. Even though life's thrown me some curve balls since with financial problems and difficulties, I'm still thankful to be alive to have them.
I've a nice scar across my belly, and it took me well over a month to recover, during such time that I lost weight RAPIDLY. I'm now 125 pounds....I'm scrawny, bony and flabby, (and proud of it) and happy to be alive!!! I DO feel the loss of nutrition, and I'm finding it hard to get the protein in, and am having bad bathroom issues. I'm hoping to find a good protein powder that will supplement me and get me properly nourished again. I would NEVER IMAGINE being UNDER weight...but here I am.
