To All, my wife didnt know how to use DI, i tried to tell her from the hospital bed to post for some help but she tried her best to Post. Now that Im back heres the jist of the story, For all those that didnt know, almost a week back I was intentionally struck from behind with a glass bottle cutting open my head - i also damaged my left shoulder, and re-opened an infectious sore on my right leg. I dont remember much what happened after that but I was taken to Siliman via ambulance for a CT Scan, Chest Xray and Shoulder Xray, and to get my head sutured up.. LUCKILY all of the scans turned out OK however a blood test showed a dangerously low platelet and rbc level due to loss of blood and also multiple infections raging throughout me. My platelets continued to drop and the Drs scratched their heads, came up with 2 possible diagnosis... either it was due to the loss of blood and an infection raging throughout me, or because I had a sore body/sore joints and was running a high fever they suggested a high potential of Denge Fever... I was in really bad shape, amnesia of many past events, confusion, vommitting, etc..it was terrible. After awhile my levels started climbing but then dropped again.. Instead of paying for tests, expensive meds, etc, they pumped me full of their strongest antibiotics, gave me a perscreption and I opted to be sent home after my vitals were stable and I was on my feet. Also to self monitor with my local lab..lets pray things get better for me. Thank you all who did get the message about possibly donating blood, and especially to the gentlemen who actually came and visited me at Siliman to see how I was doing. I did not catch his name, as I was completely not there but it meant a lot to know this forum can provide support to those in need. Love you all, and pray for me please
Here's sincerely wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. But, please tell us, where and who should we avoid to escape a similar fate?
Best to you in your recovery!. I myself have had to spend time at SMC twice in the past month, and know that even though they are decent there, it is not the place any of us want to be. Sorry i missed the earlier post.
