Medical procedures, vomiting, death mention

This is great… I’m now vomiting liquid more frequently, cold all the time, getting dehydrated and sleeping a lot. My stomach is slowly shutting down and my doctor is telling me that I’m at risk of sudden death from malnutrition.

I’ve been trying to get a feeding tube for a while but the medical system is very slow and obstructive so I have a weird sense that I possibly might not make it.

so many hugs

are you able to go to emergency and be admitted to hospital?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

This... it sucks but when the slow grind fails ER can express route

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

That’s the plan. I’ve done so before but didn’t get the procedure so I may need to keep returning

I’m so sorry. That sounds awful. I really hope that things improve. I know it’s cliche, and easier said than done, but staying positive and hopeful can help with coping and recovering from medical issues. You can get through this. DT needs you, stay strong.

That's terrifying and I'm so sorry you're going through that. I hope things improve and you have naught to fear. Sending my love and good vibes💜
