This post seems very inappropriate in contrast to my last post! Not feeling quite so hot anymore. I wound up in the hospital yesterday and was let out around 1:00 this afternoon. I'm having a flare-up.

I lost a lot a fluid/blood and had to be rehydrated. My potassium went way down, so they had to take care of that real quick. I was also in a lot of pain, so the nurses kept me good and stoned throughout most of my stay. On the bright side, my hemoglobin didn't drop too much, so I didn't end up needing a tranfusion. The doctors seemed pretty convinced I would end up needing one. Now I still feel like total crap, can hardly stay out of the bathroom and can't eat, but I don't seem to be in any immediate danger. So after lots of begging and bargaining with the team, they decided to let me go home. They want me to start taking Prednisone.

I'm going to have to do a lot of thinking before I can decide if I wanna go that route. Steroids are nasty little friggers.
Anyway, everybody please wish me luck. I need to keep my symptoms under control enough to keep me out of the hospital. Thanks for all your support.
