    I made it through my GI bleed. I was being cared for an seen by my doctor every 3 month. I had no idea this would happen. After a beautiful spring day and a power walk I was hungry. I warmed dinner up. All of a sudden I felt a heat wave. It was strange cuz I hadn’t had a panic attack for a long time. I laid down then felt sick. I turned the light on and saw a ton of blood. I unlocked the door to outside. I felt dizzy, like I couldn’t get air. I laid down on the floor and called 911. Nothing like this happened before. The EMTs came fast and brought me to Massachusetts General Hospital. It was nuts in there. I had to wait in the hall, but that was ok cuz I was closer to the nursing station. I threw up more and was brought into a room. Eventually it looked like a Christmas tree with everything hanging. A central line was put in. All kinds of IVs and blood products. All together 10 bags of blood and 2 bags of platelets. I don’t know how much my body normally has. They tried the banding and it was unsuccessful, then TIPPS. It felt like I had been run over by a train, but I wasn’t banged up. I liked the staff GI doc. Everyone else was hurrying around. He had a talk with me and finally explained what happened. It turned out that after 20 years of ARVs, my liver was pretty sick. I wasn’t a drug or alcohol user, so I was pretty surprised. Follow up included watching my TIPPS. It was discovered that I had liver cancer and then again. Oh… IR rocks. Over 7 years ago I had my liver transplant. Other than the portal vein clot, it’s been a smooth transition. I’m so grateful for each person who studied so hard to save my life.

    Having black stools for 3 weeks. Went to ER. Did exam and found no blood in stool. Sent me home. Did no testing, no bloodwork. Said it would go away on its own. 3 days later, still going on. I don’t understand why. Can’t someone explain why i have black stools. And should not worry about it? Thanks
