Hello all
This is Rigges
On Aug 2nd I was Hospitalized
On the 1st I seemed to be OK then around 1:00 pm on sat the 2nd I could not catch my breath if I was walking of doing any thing Physical I mean even just a few steps Finaly went to Local Hospital ER for help. At first they thought I was haveing or was going to have a heart attack.
They did the blood tests they do that new one that you get the markers for potential heart attack So they sent me to have a Dye CT scan to see were the blockage was in my heart and Low and behold they found nothing wrong with my heart. what they did find was 2 very large blood clots on my lungs. they put me on Blood thinners O2 some additional med's to help my body dissolve the clots was sent home on Tue 5th of Aug.
I will be on O2 for about 6 weeks and it can take about 6 months for my body to get rid of the clots.
6 Aug my Birthday turned 55 home Alone.
This past Sunday Went to VA ER for pain in my lower Abdomen They Xrayed me Gave me an IV & treated me for Diverticulitis Tue the releced me at around 1:00 monday morning
Went in to VA Tue 19th Aug to see the Blood clotting clinic that's not what its called that's just what it means (Coagulation Clinic). while talking to the Pharmacist in charge I talked about my pain in my side she talked to my Dr and they authorized a CT scan of my abdomen they think I have Kidney stones So I went up to xray to schedule my CT scan. I told Xray if they had time to just go ahead and scan me today and get it over with so I got scanned and headed back to my local Apartment for school Pain is real bad the blood tests on Tue and blood tests from Sunday and from the week prior show that my Kidneys are getting worse. Now at the Apartment finally eating some thing The VA calls "Mr Rigges When did you eat last" I was Like I am eating right now Why? "well we wanted to have you come back for urgent surgery". Great so they scheduled me for the next morning yesterday the 20th of Aug
SO I get one of my room mates to take me and bring me back from the hospital.
I go in to have the surgery they put a stent in to open the Ureter were a 5mm stone is so the urine can pass by they can't take the stone out due to my above Blood clots (Pulmonary Embolism) am still in pain Passing blood in my Urine they said that would be normal and now the Ureter is spazing out due to the stent and it hurts like hell when I pee it also feels like I am peeing broken glass.
SO stay young my Friends don't grow old don't try to get there sooner as it comes too fast as is.
I am trying my hardest to get well I really hate this shibit
Thought You all might want to know whats happening with me.
