Just a quick note to let you all know that Chuck S. is in the hospital with a SEVERE stomach bleed! Not sure if it is due to an ulcer or what, I do know that he has used 20K if factor right at the outset, and is likely now well into 50K.... They stapled his stomach 3 different times trying to stem the bleeding. Those who have seen him say he is doing 'better'. Scary stuff!

When you get into soft tissue issues, as well as internal bleeding (in the belly) things can get sideways REALLY QUICK! Have tried to reach out to Chuck via the phone but have yet to reach him, but I wanted you all to know.

Prayers and thoughts for Chuck please!

Cheers!

hey guys i wanted to let you know i just got home from the lovely accommodation of RGH hospital
before i went in the hospital i was coming down with a sinus infection so i started taking some antibiotic from my dr from another sinus cold i had before 2 weeks earlier, for a couple of days i was having trouble bring up all that gook, i had been hacking allot, and if you know me that just how i cough hard and rough, so on the 14 i was eating some chicken and all of a sudden i was having trouble swallowing my food, it felt fat in my throat, to the point i had to spit out what i was trying to swallow.
so gave up on what i was eating and felt very tired and went to be, i woke up in the morning of the 15th cold shaking and having trouble catching my breath so i did a breathing treatment, i still couldn't catch my breath so i did another but that sec one seemed to help out , so i laid on the couch for a couple of hrs, when i woke up i was covered in sweat like some one turned on the shower on me, and i went up stairs to cool off in front of the ac. so i hit the john first, i dident want to get back up and have to go pee. so i am sitting on my best friend, and all of a sudden i start to hack and hack and i just cant seem to bring any thing up, then all of a sudden i feel like i am going to hurl, but i am sitting on y best friend, so the sink was right there, i looked like coffee grounds and i knew what that meant because like 12 years ago i had a peptic spot in my stomach and i was bleeding back then, so i stand up
and look in the bowl and its all black. so i am thinking oooooo fuck i am in trouble! i stand up again and i am dizzy swaying in the hall way, i make it down the stairs and i am holing on to the door frame swaying like i was hammered, i tell vicki i think i am sick i might have to go to the dr maybe, and i take a step and my right leg bucked under the weight of me and i was better call 911, so the ambulance comes and i grab a box of 3000unit box, i walk in to the back of the ambulance by my self mind you i ant no pussy i want to get in by my self, so i get bucked in and i tell the guy you need to call my HTC and talk to the nurse because i am a bleeder and i am fucked up, i hear in the phone dose he have his oun factor with him, and by now i have already cracked the box and is mixing it up. so i hand the guy the juice and tell him to push this in me right now. when i get at the ED
i tell the nurse what i did and she said thank you very much you just bought your self some more time, i come to find out i lost 2 pints of blood and i was still gushing in my stomach, but there was a clot where the hole was trying to hold the blood fall back.
on the day i am supposed to leave which changed daily depending on the blood work, they tell me my crit droped by 3 in 12 hrs.
so they put another pint in me and i some how get to get to go home after 6 days in the hospital, i could have been the bitching i did when i was there, about i want to go home now!!!, so i am home now its day 1.5 and i still feel very weak, but i will survive because you cant kill the cave man! sorry i dident give you guys a update before but i was fucked up.

thanks

Last year I started '09 with a 4 month run of NO BLEEDS!!! That was my longest span of no bleeds that I can remember. Usually its more like a bleed a week (at a minimum) so after 4 months I was feeling very NON-Hemo.... of course, that didn't last....

This morning I woke up with a L elbow bleed. It was fine when I went to bed! Didn't have any Ninja dreams or anything like that, but the Elbow is definately bleeding....

You gents ever have stuff like that happen?? I'd be interested in hearing your experiences!

Thats how 75% of my bleeds start.  Right elbow bleeds because it doesnt bend or straighten very well so find getting it comfy in bed is a pain in the backside.  If I lay on it funny then it often bleeds.

yea don't lay on it funny  Wink
After 47 years you would think I would know how I get all my bleeds, but nope. most get started by a twist or a knock but some just seem to come from nowhere. most develope overnight even after a twist or knock in the daytime
