On Saturday evening around 5:00 pm, we all got back from a friends house and I started bleeding very badly. I was passing clots and going through about 6 pads per hour. (actually, maybe this is TMI, but I ran out of pads and so I used Maiya's diapers... lol) After my surgery my doctor had told me to call if I had any bleeding heavier than a heavy period. I waited a couple hours, but it kept getting worse. So after making a call to the Dr. we decided to go into the ER. They checked my blood and found that my levels (which were at 2200 on Tuesday) had risen to 2400. Definitely not a good sign.
They also gave me an ultrasound to see if they could see that anything had grown back, but they couldn't see anything abnormal. But, my bleeding had stopped, and my vitals were good, so they sent me home and told me to follow up with my Dr. on Monday. Well, my Dr. isn't in today (or tomorrow) so I get to wait until Wednesday. But I got my blood tested today, so they will be able to make sure that it is still up.
So anyways! Physically I really am feeling perfectly normal. Haven't had any bleeding since. I am fully expecting to have to get a shot of chemo, I really would be surprised if I don't have to. But I've known it was a possibility this whole time, so that doesn't actually scare me that much. It's the bleeding that scares me, and that is gone for now. (It does bother me that no one seems to have an explanation of why I bled so much... it could have been a clot that I was holding onto, but no one knows for sure.) But mostly it's all just annoying... the waiting for answers, the poking and blood drawing, all of the Dr visits and lab visits.... it will be nice to maybe someday get some normalcy back in my life :)
I definitely need a vacation, but I have to wait for the answers before I can plan anything! But, as always I know the Lord is mindful of me and my family and will never cease to be amazed at all of the people who hold interest in our well-being. I think people worry that I am hiding my true feelings or something, and yes, it hasn't exactly been my first choice of how I would want to spend my time, but I have been promised through the Priesthood that I would feel peace throughout this entire process and I have felt nothing less.

you're awesome megan. I think it was just passing the clots, but hey I'm no medical professional. Hope you get your vacation soon.
my only thing with that theory is that you'd think that would make the numbers go down. But, you never know.
That sucks Megan. I'll be praying for those numbers to go down.
You are so positive! Chad always says "Its all about attitude!!" I'm a big believer of this. Of course it isn't easy for you but, you aren't letting it take over your life. We hope all goes well Wednesday. Love ya girl!
