I'm looking at more surgery, they tell me. Maybe even as soon as tomorrow? But could be in a month or so. I am scared of it!

It's about internal bleeding. Small bowel. Easy to just remove more but then you lose nutrients and just the processing of the food and rendering what comes out at the other end. There are repercussions, so to speak. I may be discharged tomorrow, or I might have major surgery. we shall see?
I'm getting tired of this place! Due to that deadly disease called covid19, they don't allow visitors! What a crock of shiT! My daughter flew down here to provide support and all we can do is text message! Well fuck, She could have stayed in San Rafael!
Either way, if I go under the knife tomorrow, that's just not good. More better, I can set it up with the same surgeon that did my last procedure, maybe a month from now? Either way, looks like it's probable. I'm not very enthused about this deal! Although, they say it will give benefit, less pain and discomfort. That is an actual incentive!

Don't mean to be mysterious. It depends on if I start hemorrhaging. A distinct possibility because they are putting me back on Pradaxa, a blood thinner.
If I don't have evidence of bleeding, during bowel movement, it still needs to be done, but scheduled later after consult at different Kaiser facility, with surgeon who did previous surgery.

edit: further illumination: the blood thinners are to dissolve a blood clot discovered during a previous ct scan. Totally unrelated to this Crohn's stuff.

I am so sorry Leonard , I hate hospitals the smell the attitude the whole shebang ! I wish you the best my friend be safe and be well . I have spent much too much time in those barns . and remember when the nurse comes in and hits you band with a scanner another bill viola ! But know this the doctors did my procedures but the nurses saved my life. There isn't a doctor on the whole staff that can hook up all those tubes and wiring running in an out every orifice in your body some natural and some man made. enjoy the down time and rest. You will get thru this too and be stronger on the other side. thoughts and prayers from Arizona !

Thanks, everybody!
I'm just sitting here, bored to death, only thing I have to play with is this laptop so I thought I would share, rather than tuning out for the duration.
Well, lunch is finally here. That's another thing! Not so much the quality of the food, it's the intentional restrictions.
Example: I am probably a bit of a weirdo, but I have never cared much for chocolate. What did I get for desert? Chocolate pudding! What was entree? Vegetarian Lasagne! this shit literally looked like VOMIT! The veggie? Tasteless, steamed BROCCOLI!
So, they have pizza and pot roast and other stuff, like bacon and eggs, but I'm restricted! Really, that Lasagne was as terrible as anything I have ever eaten in my life, worst, takes the cake! It would be almost funny, except....

Bad news this morning, as far as being discharged. Hemoglobin is at 7.1. if it drops another tenth, I won't go home, and will need a whole blood transfusion. That's kind of a pain in the ass because the blood wants to coagulate in the peristaltic pump, takes forever to run two units, like maybe 4 hours.
Also, they won't give me damned bacon and eggs! I got oatmeal!

Staying another night. I was dressed and ready to go. But blood in stool and the won't release me.
I'm still dressed. Tossed the fucking gown! I guess I sleep in my clothes tonight?
Sweet dreams,
El Bee
