Oh boy, thank you for your kind words, do I owe you an apology and an explaination? I think so, but brace yourselves because this is not normal car forum chat, this is women's gruesomeness, prepare to run a mile!
ABC arrived at our house 8.45am Sunday and the Westfield was on the front ready to go, Glen and I were togged up and we were just having a chat before setting off. Then it all went wrong. My Mirena coil had half wormed it's way out Friday afternoon and my GP quickly removed it, this is where lot's of blood is involved, sorry but I did warn you. Saturday was fine, bleeding, but fine. Sunday morning was a bit of a horror movie but I had hoped it would sort itself out....until I went a bit hot and a bit faint while talking to Glen and ABC. Thinking I was wearing a lot of clothes and we needed to get into a freezing Westfield to cool down, I went to the loo, oh dear, that was rather a lot of blood and there was no stopping it. I apologised to ABC and put the Westfield away while Glen turned the MX5 into an ambulance and off we wizzed to Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
A heart rate of 39 bpm and blood pressure of 40 odd over 90 odd, I think I had just lost too much blood in a short space of time, so that was it, I was fed a cocktail of anti-spasm/blood stoppers/I.V fluids and I.V painkillers and had an ECG. I was admitted because my heart rate and bp took a while to get back up and scans were not available on a Sunday, a night in Hotel du Hospital for me.
The coil had been in place for 2 years to treat fibroids (non cancerous tumours) on my lady baby bits, sometimes coils just come out, so after scans and stuff they have decided to make me go into menopause for 6 months with a GnR injection to reduce the fibroids. Fun times ahead hey, but hopefully we will be rocking n rolling in the car, I might even be warm if I can have one of those hot flush jobbys ๐
It's good to talk to your wife/mother about periods/menopause and sympathise with them, it might even get you some brownie points for car blats, or practice on me and Glen, there is nothing we don't know about the women's anatomy now ๐
Hope to see you all next Sunday, I am very late for an appointment with an extra large ice cream๐
