I just got back into the hospital.  I could have died, yet they still don't know what happened.  I remember being in bed and being out of it.  At some point, I realized I'd been in bed for a day and texted that to Michael.  I was freaked out but too out of it to do anything.  I fed the kitties and went back to bed.

Then, I think it was the next day, I was sleeping and got a knock on my door.  It was my friend, Michael, and my apartment manager, Roz.  They looked like they'd seen a ghost.  They called the hospital and were immediately told to take me in.  At the hospital, I was so out of it.  I barely knew my name.  They ran some tests and said I had severe liver damage.  They kept asking me if I'd taken Tylenol and had tried to hurt myself.  Let me state EMPHATICALLY that I did not try to hurt myself in any way.  I didn't remember taking any Tylenol either.  It's not like me to even carry it, and Michael looked all over and couldn't find any.  I just remembered today that I never filled that prescription.  

They thought there may have been some in the Oxycodone I took, but they discovered there wasn't any.  

They also couldn't explain my fevers.  They thought there may have been an infection, but they weren't sure.

Then, they thought they might have seen a pnumonia, but again, they weren't sure.  They started giving me antibiotics.

Then, today, they said it may have been a virus, but again, they weren't sure.  

They kept taking my blood and giving me IVs and drinks.  Eventally, I got well enough to be discharged.


This is all really scary.  I could have died, yet no one knows what happened.  

Oh, and I got the results of my biopsy.  They discovered I have Barret's Esophagus, which could lead to cancer one day.  Great.  Another thing to worry about.  I'm so exhausted and glad to be home.  I missed my kitties and all of you.

Ms. Cordeilla, I am so sorry to hear this! You are so strong. If I were in your shoes, I would have broken down and had a panic attack. I can't believe you went through this. Wow. I would be really sad if something happened to you! D: Thank god you're okay! You're so strong, and we're really proud of you. :-)

I'm so sorry for you and wish you all the best. You were so lucky that you could inform Michael and that he cared about you. It's so scary to think that you could be helpless and alone at home. Take care!
