Well.
Friday was a rough day. I went in to the animal hospital to just do paperwork and watch safety videos. I was there for 4 or so hours. I got home and my back really hurt. I was passing A LOT of blood. I rested on the couch for about an hour and felt better so I decided to go to the store because I was hungry. I got to the store, grabbed my almond milk, my cottage cheese. I was looking at soup ingredients when I started feeling really weak. I tried to breathe and relax. I passed a little more blood so I decided to just get out. I went to the shortest line, put my stuff down and leaned on the conveyor because I felt really light headed. So I then decided to just go. I had to get out. I blacked out right as I stepped out the door. Tripped over a garbage can, knocked it over and fell on the sidewalk. I passed more blood. Some guy asked if I was ok and helped me find my phone. I called Drew as I lay on the ground, i said "we need to go to the ER, im at hardesters, i passed out". Then a store worker lady helped me up, walked me to my truck and asked me to please call someone and don't drive home. I called my mom and stayed on the phone with her. I passed a ton of blood. Literally it was pooling between my legs. I was hemorrhaging for no apparent reason. I blacked out twice with her on the phone. Drew got to me after about 40 minutes and drove me an hour to the ER.
I lost about 1/3 of my blood and ended up getting two transfusions, another CT more antibiotics and steroids. I found out that I've lost 15 lbs in two weeks.
I'm home now. Feeling a lot better.
No good explanation for the bleeding. Just a complication of the disease.
I'm going to talk to the vet and see if they can give me April to get my health back to 100%. That way I can go into the job and give it my all. I need to stop trying to fly with one wing. I'm hoping they will do that because otherwise I'm not going to be able to work right now at all.
Anyway. Happy Easter! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm trading my 4 ducks for 6 chicks, 2 australrps and a silver Wyandotte. They are 6 months and already laying
My babies are doing good. The little one with the tendon issue is 100% now. I was so happy to see them when I got home today. Nothing is better than little joyful babies.

I'm on my phone so it's easier to just quote one but you are all correct. When I got out of the hospital last time I hit the ground running and it was a mistake.bonbean01 said:So sorry for your horrible day...and hope you get better quickly...you really do have to give yourself how ever much time it takes to get your strength back
I need to stop worrying about the vet job. If they won't hold it, I can always reapply. I can't work with my health half assed right now. I will just keep running into walls.
My plan is to get my doctors appointments secure, get my medication secure. I'm not going to over think my diet. I think that was a big issue last time because it over whelmed me and I just had no appetite. The vomiting definitely didn't help. I can't believe I've lost 15lbs!! My mom and sister drove 2 hours to the ER to be with me Friday an they kept saying "you are so tiny". I wish I could be happy about it but I'm not at all.
I've been eatin good, hospital food isn't so bad actually and I' plan to just eat what I love but within the parameters of what foods that are irritating.
I need to heal before I start that job. I cannot have this happen again.
