I'm back! Medical mystery!

[Cordellia Amethyste Rose]

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.

Well, things have gone from bad to worse over here.  I felt weak and winded the instant I got home, but I hoped I'd feel better with rest.  I didn't, so I went back.  They ran ultrasounds on my legs and a CT scan.  They found out I have some serious blood clots in my right leg and lung.  They kept me over night, and now I have to take blood thinners and go to a clinic to be tested.  If I never see another hospital bed in my life, it'll be too soon.  As you may know, blood clots can be fatal, so they're not taking this lightly.  They think they caught them on time, though.  Here's hoping for the best.  Thanks for the well-wishes.
