I Love Taking Selfies

Been in hospital for a few days after having an operation to remove a blood clot. The operation went badly and I actually died for four minutes...I've been told it's a miracle I have no signs of brain damage.

Anyway, tonight will be my fourth night in hospital and I'm hating it. I want to be home and back in my own bed, but fully understand I'm stuck here until I have my strength back.

Basically, I want to be me again, like I was last weekend. I miss this version of me already.

@YukikoAmagi I feel ok. But i keep getting told I'm not strong enough to go home yet. I'm gutted. 😕
@MaryJo1996 but it sounds like serious operation, keep rest and get well soon..

@YukikoAmagi It was meant to be a night or two, pretty routine. But it went wrong so turned out much worse.
@MaryJo1996 oh.. what went wrong?

@YukikoAmagi I bled far more than i theoretically should have, and as such my heart stopped and it took four minutes for them to restart it. The fact I'm alive is one thing, to not be brain damaged is a miracle.
@MaryJo1996 oh my.. that was scary, i'll pray for your quick recovery

@YukikoAmagi I'm not into prayer, so kind wishes please.

As for being scary...i obviously didn't know at the time, but it was very distressing to hear afterwards. I cried so much.
@MaryJo1996 ah yes, wishing you all the best Mary..
i can understand, if it's happened to me, i'll cry too
