Uterine Polyps

Early Thursday morning I had to take a shower due to Heavy menses/clotting problems. I started to undress when I noticed I was getting quite light headed. I stood there for a few seconds and proceeded to take a shower. I stood in the warm shower for a bit and I swayed around, which seemed normal (recovering from deconditioning of/from pneumonia) I held onto the rail and closed my eyes. I turned the knob towards cold and stood there in cold/warm water. When I thought I was feeling better I put the shampoo in my hair and started the lathering process.. then it hit me.. the stall went blur.. the black out started.. I felt very weak.. I couldn't breathe again.. My left arm became painfully tight, my neck stiffened.. I opened the shower stall, and asked Hubby to come help me finish with showering. By the time he got to me, I tipped over. I told Hubby to let me lay down, when I came to I was all sweaty. I don't know if I finished the shower or what happened. Hubby was having a fit and rushed me to the hospital.

I went to ER and was given Blood Transfusion, and sent upstairs for observation. Since they couldn't pinpoint the problem, I was in isolation room. There that's were it all started.

***********SHORT VERSION***************
I had my uterus scraped for Uterine Polyps. Well, this could be like the reason why we couldn't have children all these years. DAMN!! Can you imagine? Our kids would be reaching late teens by now? Why did I listen to the Navajo Medical Center when they told me my problems were normal?

Being a FALL RISK patient, I was always accompanied by a Nurse or Assitant during my potty times. A nurse helped me get undress to go potty was in the shock of her life.. she witnessed my fist size clots (five came dropping out of me), astounded and asked me how long this has been going on, I told her about ten years. She asked did I ever get treatment for it, I said no, NNMC said it was normal to be like that. She sternly said "THIS IS NOT NORMAL!" and right away that evening I had papsmear and the other test they do with their fingers, plus ultarsound.. in the morning I had my operation. Mind you, I used up 5 liters of Blood (transfusion).

I spent two and a half days at the hospital... now I'm home and kinda have the blues right now... I am too old to have a baby... there's a lot of risk involved if I were to get pregnant.. my marriage sucks... my health sucks... and what about financially?? We would have to work until we are, like, sixty.. [sigh]At the very end, all this time it could have been possible... Well, if it isn't.. LIFE ISN'T FAIR!!! ~CRAP!!~

Again.. I use to tell Tawnchi he was my one and only.
