Holy Shit.
It's been a bad few days.
Beloved family member died. Grieving hard.
Just got back from the ER. Diverticulitis and another secondary infection. Real bad pain.
Got a shitload of IV morphine.
I'm on two blood thinners and the hole where my IV was blew out after they removed it, and after the nurse left the room. I didn't notice it for about 30 seconds.
No lie...I've never seen so much blood in person in my life. It got over everything in the room. I was in my underwear (in the process of putting my street clothes back on after discharge instructions) and had to stick my head out the door and yell "HELP"!
Three nurses came in and they simultaneously said "HOLY SHIT". My white socks are now red. Lost so much blood that I got woozy.
I have pictures, but I can't post them because they would get juried for being gore.
That's all I have for today.
THE END

By the way, pants are optional in the lounge.
And I know bad days.
Keep us posted on your recovery. Otherwise I'll worry!!! 
I'm so sorry, so very sorry. Try to hang in. It sounds horrific
You bring a lot of fun to this place.
.
I've had some of those things happen. They all suck. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it, but the only way to get past it is to go through it.
So take some drugs. Eat, drink something. Go to bed or your couch. Watch some basketball. Or something else. Recuperate, and recover.
Hope you feel better soon.
Please hang in there Lucky! I am so sorry that all that happened.

I'm sorry to hear about your beloved family member. 
I'm only teasing you when I ask for pictures, if I didn't like you I wouldn't tease you.
Mrs. LuckyCharms if you're reading this please take care of our LuckyCharms. Thank you!!
Here's a myriad of hugs.
was in er 3 times in a 24 hour period with afib last weekend . i am still tired from it. hang in there plz.
You see those type of situations on the medical TV dramas and they're bad enough, but think oh, they're just adding drama, but to actually experience it is unbelievable. All the best to you LC.
Hoping for the best for you and that the tide begins to turn for you.
Your ER visit, that sounds terrifying. Be well
Hoping things get a whole lot better, really soon!! Hang in there.
Healing, comforting vibes. 
Back in '99, my house burned down. And my mom was in late stage ALS. 2 months into the build, I had a significant artery that burst above the nose and between the eyes, 2 weeks after her passing. I had nose rockets that diverted the blood to my stomach. I kept working for about a week and I was out of gas. At check-in, I had to use the BR and puked a quart of blood. Showed the nurse and got priority service. Had a stent put in 2 days later. Thankfully, no problems since.
The reason I mention my situation is I really think that the fact I was dealing with my mom's situation (2 hours away) and building the log home for the family. At that time, I wasn't taking any BP medicine, but I think the combined stresses must have shot my BP way up and that contributed the artery blowing out.
Hang in there....I know we share similar outlooks on life and I know you'll be back better than ever.
the hospital would send you home when you'd lost so much blood you were woozy.
I'm hoping the bloodbath took your mind off the pain and everything else for a bit.
Unreal how it spurts out. At first, you're mesmerized - it seems so unreal - then you scream for "Help!".
No, no no! There's a long ways to go before THE END, LC.
A little blood-letting is good for the soul. You'll be on the mend and back here giving us a chuckle in no time. If I'm not right, you get your money back!
Infection is a bad bad thing and loss of that freaking much blood is...yea no photos please. 
I hope they get the infection gone and that you got tranfusions and treatment for the diverticulitis.
Take care of yourself! Emotionally and physically. We need you around here! 
Remember there are staff there to help you. Sending you well wishes, and a speedy recovery, LuckyCharms.
My sympathy to you for your loss.
Blood is a good thing when it's inside and we can't see it. Don't want it out where we can see it. 
Sorry for the loss of your family member, hope you feel better soon.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and your health. I wish you some peace and healing going forward.
I think it may be the opiates they gave me. I can't take those things, they make me feel sick.
Hi malaise!
Get some rest
I hear you about getting worn out. I hope you feel better.
I'm thinking they should have admitted me.
Sending you some good DU vibes and hoping things get better from now on
