have been quite ill for quite some time and it finally culminated in a 12 day stay in hospital. Not fun. . Long story short I ended up needing surgery to stop some internal bleeding. I received 6 pints of blood (this time, yes this has happened before) and still my hemoglobin would drop below a safe level. I'm home now with nursing care a few times a week. I've had a cath-port implanted in my chest and I continue to receive some meds and nutrients (TPN) through an IV.
