Went home for a couple days, then had signs of internal bleeding so I went back to the hospital for another week.
Upshot for the whole affair: - Lost one organ (gallbladder) - Almost lost another organ (pancreas) - Seriously annoyed another (liver) - Got knocked out 4 times - 4 CaT scans - 1 radioactive injection - Transfused 9 units of blood & plasma - Starved for most of 2 weeks - Lost 10 pounds - Jabbed with needles maybe 100 times ...and thankful for all of it.
We have a wonderful health care system. Everything done was just between me and my 8+ doctors. Keep government bureaucrats out of it.
