I was admitted to hospital at 12 midnight on Tuesday evening, so this is a scheduled post.

I don't know how long I will be in hospital but hope that I will be back soon. In the meantime, have a look at this lovely Acraea butterfly.

It is now 11:10am and I am due in at 12 noon as I type this on Wednesday and this post is scheduled for Thursday, so not much talking here as we have to prepare for my admittance. Now let me tell you that I am not a fan of hospitals, but this one is a bit of an emergency as I ended up with internal bleeding last night. I had an operation to place stents in my lower abdomen arteries last week, and we don't know yet if this has anything to do with the bleeding.
Until then, I wish you all of the best.

And That's All Friends.

Wow! You are drowning me in !LUV here milady.
Thankfully they listened to my pleas and sent me home a while ago.
The issue is not yet resolved and I will hear on Monday what they are planning to do.
So now I am rushing to get back up to speed with all of the replies again.
Thank you for the kind care.

Oh, I haven't known that you needed to go to hospital again and I do hope that everything went fine there, so you're alright again, my friend 😊

Btw, the Acraea butterfly looks lovely - the transparent wings are awesome cool 😀

On Tuesday night I saw that I was bleeding from my stomach when I used the toilet Hannes.
The doctor that did the previous operation on me with the stents, gave me new and stronger blood thinner tablets to take together with my normal blood thinner tablets.
After a few days the strong blood thinners made something in my stomach bleed and even now, they have not found the organ or anything else that bleeds.

I was released earlier today from hospital and now I look like a comic book with all of the blue marks of the many needles.
Also had a blood transfusion last night and now I am sitting around with another person's blood in my arteries.

I had to swallow a camera early afternoon today, to inspect the top part of my stomach below the rib cage and the result was nil. No bleeding. So on Monday I must go in again and they will tell me the way forward to find the leak.
Such is life my friend.

Glad that you liked the butterfly my friend 😊

Cheers and thanks.

Hi Zac,

I just wrote in the other reply that I hope it turns out good in the end and everything's fine. Maybe it's just a simple problem caused by the blood thinner tablets.

I know I shouldn't smile, because I know that every blue mark hurts, but I can imagine how you look like and it's soon Halloween anyway, so you won't need a costume 😉 !LOLZ

So, I think I should get back to work now and wish you a great day without any pain and hopefully good news, my friend 🤞😊

Hi Hannes,

Yes, we also think that it's the stronger blood thinner tablets that started the bleeding. So now I am back on the original blood thinners, but they are saying that it is not enough to prevent clots from forming in the arteries. So the doctor reckons that I am walking on a tightrope at the moment, as clots can cause strokes, but I cannot take the stronger blood thinners 🤞

The strange thing is that the blue marks have now changed into darker colors and they will most likely be gone in a week's time. So maybe I can do Halloween as a chameleon 🤣 !LOLZ

I also wrote in the other reply about your last day being now over and it's time for you to relax 😉

Cheers and thanks.

Hi Zac,

I hope that there are more types of blood thinners so that they will find one that's suitable for you, my friend.

Yep, you can go as huge Chameleon from door to door and collect sweets 😁

I'm so very relaxed at the moment, laying in my car with heavy rain outside 🤣 !LOLZ

Hi Hannes, no there is not another extra strong blood thinner and I am back on the original one.

No, no, I would rather run around to scare people and they will flee as they would think that I have some new plague 😜

Ah yes, inside your warm sleeping bag, laying and singing that song; "Listen to the falling rain, listen to it fall. It's raining, it's falling, the old man is calling" Maybe you know the song 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Hi Zac,

no, I don't know that song, but believe me, if I sang the rain clouds would have fled at once just because of my wonderful singing voice 🤣

Btw, I think after the plague we all are still suffering of any new plague might not scare anybody anymore - people might just put their masks on when they see you and go their way 😂 !LOLZ

Hahaha, I see others have also noticed our partnership in visiting hospitals, but yeah, I think that we should rather start to visit fun fairs. It is a long story and I left some snippets of it in the replies on the post.
I am glad that your issue was resolved successfully and just remember that water is now your new drink.
Not as nice as coffee, but essential for the bile.

Missed the memo as had my first cup 2 hours after in the hospital cafe. No side affects and dietician thinks I will have none. Will take it easy and will drink more water.

They stabilized the bleeding in my stomach, but they have not found the cause yet. So I am to wait until Monday to see another specialist.

I am still a bit weak in the head, but will try to do another post later today.
