Here is my D-day in case you missed Patricks discussion. It was interesting to see how alot of the story's are the same, makes you feel like you are not alone and other's know what you are going through and how damn serious this nightmare is.

I remember leaving work sometime that weekend because I had been vomiting and having digestive issues. I had also noticed an extreme weight loss in a few days, like 5-8 ponds. My clothes were suddenly falling off. My Vavo had gotten me some ensure because I hadn't held food down in a few days and we thought I was suffering from a summer flu. My ex boyfriend ( now my Husband ) had come over to watch a movie and he was really concerned about how I looked, It appeared I had two black eyes, I thought it was from being sick and not sleeping well. I told him if I did not feel better in the morning I would go to the hospital.
Around 4am, I got in my car and actually drove to go buy ginger ale at the store around the corner, and I think I drank an entire 2 liter. My Vavo brought me to the hospital at like 6 am because I had extreme stomach cramps and could barly walk from the pain.
I don't remember what my BS was, I do remember how great the morphene felt that they gave me for pain. I know my A1c was 12.9 and I was in the ICU for 5 days.
fun,fun,fun :)
