Nothing goes to plan.
I was supposed to have a week of programming the new website and a photo shoot with a new model tomorrow. Well, scrap all that.
On Monday morning, I ended up with another internal bleed thanks to my chemo, low platelets and blood thinners. Third in six months. So I took myself to the Emergency department of my regular hospital and checked myself in. Even though the bleed stopped by mid-day, they kept my in for testing. Thought I was going to get out Tuesday but the doctors decided it's best to stay in and get my test done now instead of getting them done as an outpatient.
I had a CT scan on Tuesday and they're pretty sure they know what's going on (too long and complicated to explain here) so I'm set for a scope up my stoma and one down my esophagus tomorrow. If it is what they suspect then they should be able to do something to help during the scope. I also think they're finally going to get me off the damn blood thinners I'm on and they're not helping plus the CT Scan showed my clot is mostly dissolved anyway. My thrombosis Dr. was intending to have me on blood thinners for eternity but my other doctors seem to be questioning it.
Anyway...
I feel fine and bored out of my tree. But at least tonight, Adrian brought me my laptop so I was able to hack together a sale for Jockstrap Central and schedule a newsletter to go out tomorrow (15% off store wide with discount code TAKEITOFF ). That's the problem with being a small business - if I'm out of commission, we can't launch products or promotions or promote the website. And the business suffers. It's so frustrating being stuck in a hospital and being unable to work.
On a positive note, the scope shouldn't be a big deal and I could be out tomorrow evening but knowing that nothing happens fast in the hospital, I'm betting on a Friday release.
Will keep you posted,
John
