Sorry this has taken so long....the next post will tell you WHY we've been too busy to update but for now, let me backtrack & tell you about my not so wonderful post-birth scare.
After seeing Talen in the NICU, for the 1st time, around 2 or so in the afternoon, I told Jeff I felt wierd, like I was bleeding or something. We went back to my room & that is the last thing I remember for the rest of that day (& talking to people after the fact, I realize there are things I've forgeten even before this point).......actually my memories don't come back until Saturday.
From what everyone's told me, here's the story:
My nurse came in & realized I was bleeding MUCH more than normal. She called in 1 nurse for a 2nd opinion.....eventually 5 nurses were in the room, trying to see what could possibly be wrong. They finally called my Dr to come in & soon after he got there I was being wheeled to the OR so he could stop my hemoraging. He ended up doing only a D&C but said he was close to doing a hysterectomy if the D&C didn't work. I ended up loosing so much blood that I needed blood transfusions. I didn't leave the recovery room (finish getting my blood) until 5 a.m.!!! Talk about a scary day, for me & everyone that thought I there waiting to hear a 'good' outcome.
Friday I was on Demerol (straight thru my IV) so I was out of it & don't remember much. Jeff filled me in on who visited & some of those visitors have filled me in on some very funny stories about things I said (& some not so nice things I said or did!!)
Monday, before I left the hospital, my blood count had dropped, again but it has gradually come back up on it's own. I am finally feeling like myself again.
