On December 2, I had a polyp surgically removed (minor day surgery). No big deal right? Five days later, the wound burst open and literally turned into bloody fountain and pain in the ass. I ended up in ICU bleeding my guts out. My pulse rate dropped to 32, hematocrit went from 57.1 % to 37.6 % and hemoglobin fell from 18.5 to 12.5 gm/dl. The doctor and a crowd of other medical staff went berserk. Emergency surgery was scheduled for 2:00 a.m. but became unnecessary as the bleeding subsided.
The good news is that on Monday, the doctor told me the polyp was benign and yesterday, he discharged me at noon. -Home now and feeling fiesty as heck. No cancer of the colon. Yahoo!
Bodybuilding related. Not supposed to lift more than 20 lbs for the next 30 days. Guess that nixes the gym.

Wes, When I realized how much I was bleeding, I was sure I'd bleed to death. Sometimes, no matter how bad you think something is, you find out you're going to be a-okay. Hang in there, buddy. Stay positive.
