So now Laurelle is in the hospital - she was so dizzy that she couldn't walk, so her husband brought her to the hospital on Monday. They did a scope the next day and found that she has a large intestinal tumor in the first section of her small intestine. No food or water could pass that area, hence the weight loss.
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unbelievably angry right now. Sending her home with the diagnosis of the "flu" more than once is fucking stupid. I'm a gym student and even I knew that something had to have been wrong.
I'm sick of hearing horror stories about our health care system and how they don't listen to their patients.
I'm PRAYING that the biopsy shows that the tumour is benign. Good thoughts, good thoughts.... I have to think positive....although it's very hard. Surgery is planned for this week, regardless.
I may be posting more often or less often, depending on how angry or relieved I am. Writing alleviates stress for me so don't feel the need to comment. Just read it and call in a favour to the big JC. I'd appreciate it.
