Almost lost my Wife this week......

tone1

No, not at the shops...I don’t normally post much more than some crappy jokes or pics of my rubbish gear but you guys seem to share some of life’s biggies.... so here goes!

My Wife was booked into a small private hospital this week on Wednesday for a routine Gynaecology procedure. Just routine nothing of any note, dropped her off at midday, due to pick her up by 5pm.... Hospital phoned at 6pm saying I need to come in as she’s not very well... Understatement of the year....Haemoglobin levels dropping and blacking out...The decision was to blue light her to the Main Hospital A&E where they carried out an emergency blood transfusion and prepared her rapidly for theatre.... I watched them run her down the corridor into theatre for surgery... She emerged at 03.30am.... full Hysterectomy and internal bleeding... Surgeons and Anaesthetists said she was lucky to pull through the ordeal.. She won’t be out til next week and is a bit of a wreck...... I’m not looking for tea and sympathy but as Bob Hoskins used to say ‘it’s good to talk’ 
......

Man....its times like that when you're thankful for our hospital staff ...no matter what country they originate from right? 

I think you should celebrate the good news with a new guitar for yourself...go on...because your worth it ;-)

Sounds like a terrifying ordeal. Wishing Mrs tone1 a full and speedy recovery.

Shit dude, that's terrible! She's in the best place now, hopefully the ward will arrange support staff; apart from the medical side, you've both been through an ordeal and need some emotional support as well as everything else.

All the best to you both, man

Scary stuff. Another reminder that you never know what's just around the corner and have to live in the present and enjoy your time here as best you can, each and every day that you have.

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for your wife @tone1

Wow, must have been shocking for both of you, especially your wife. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Best wishes for a quick recovery to her, it's easy to forget how lucky we all are to be here until something like that happens.
(I recently came very close to losing my mum to a pulmonary embolism that came seemingly outta nowhere.)
Have just finished an audiobook by a guy who was a junior doctor in gynaecology, it's written with a huge amount of rather sharp humour but it's also very poignant at times and makes you realise how hard these people work to keep our loved ones with us when bad stuff happens.
(It may be a bit soon for you right now, but you may want to try it later, called This is Going to Hurt, by Adam Kay.)
Again, wishing you both well and hope it's a full and fast recovery.

Best wishes to you both.

Going to go and give Mrs Goldtop a hug ... she'll tell me to stop being silly, of course.

Wow that’s scary.  wishing her a speedy recovery. Was the bleeding due to the op or would it have happened anyway?

Wow! That’s a nightmare! Positive thoughts and vibes to you and your wife. Hope she mends quickly.
