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.

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.

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

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.

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, yes they might just do that. I saw a lady today that had many blue flower tattoos on her arms, and I said to her that I think my doctor should take some tattoo classes, so that he can make the blue patches on his patients look like flowers 🤣🤣🤣

No good news yet my friend and I have to play the waiting game. But I rather wait at home than hospital and we will see what happens.
We continue to pray for a good outcome.

Very carefully I can certainly handle Jackie at this point now !LOL

So sorry to hear you're in hospital... :(
Wishing you a speedy recovery and home again asap!

@ackhoo asap indeed, as they could not find the fault yet, so I pleaded to go home and they released me this afternoon. The search and the treatment will continue on Monday.
I am just surprised that so few liked the post, but such is life.

Oh wow! My wish for you came true faster than even I expected! 🙂👍 Let me wish you 100% excellent health asap too! 😉 (All the best for Monday...)

Thank you and yes, I was soooo glad to get out of there. Maybe it is just something to do with the Hardfork that ws not fixed yet, as I see that today it's the same thing.

What the hell is going on in South Africa? First coffee, now you? Guys, this is not fun! I hope you get out of there soon and good as new! Get well!

Hahaha, we seem to be hospital twins. Coffee and I were both released today.
You have it so right, as it is not fun and I can walk around naked with all of the blue tattoos of the needles on my body. Looks like I have a blue suit on !LOL

Coffee escaped yesterday but I bet he bribed the doctor to win a bet 😂
@cryptoandcoffee 🙃

So you're blue now, like a rookie in the uniform. Not good but I hope it passes and you can get rid of the bruises.

Yep! Coffee bribed and I pleaded 😅
Not to worry as it will soon clear up to be ready for the next event.

I want to thank you all for kind best wishes and I want to tell you that I was released from hospital an hour ago.

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.

A special thank you to all for supporting my scheduled posts including this one in my absence.
I am still a bit weak in the head, but will try to do another post later today.

Blessings to all and thank you once again 🙏

We must stop this swapping places as hospitals are no fun. Get better soon and will be thinking of you.

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.

Thankfully they listened to my pleas and sent me home a while ago.
