This is one day I'll never forget for the rest of my life. So long story short I had been having health issues since I was about 13. Doctors and specialist could never find out what was causing me problems. So fast foward to last year and i ended up back in hospital in a lot of pain and finally this time the doctors were able to find out what was wrong with me. Turns out it was gallstones and even though this time they found out what was wrong with me the gallstones had caused a large blockage and I wasn't getting better. They done all sorts of tests and still couldn't find out why I wasn't getting better. Eventually they were left with little choice but to do a liver biopsy and that is one hell of a procedure let me tell you. So they did that and I felt a bit sore understandably and It wasn't until about 5 hours later that I had a massive burst of pain. Turns out they nicked a main artery during the biopsy and I had slowly been bleeding internally. They then flew me to one of the major hospital's here in Australia. But by that point things were not looking good. The surgeon did the best he could by cauteriseing the wound. I was then left on a ventilator to fight for my life. I woke up two days later in a stable condition but it was far from being the end of my worries. I was left with two collapsed lungs and I couldn't even sit up in bed without running out of breath. With the help of some great nurse's and after being in hospital for a month I was finally able to go home. It's been almost 18 month's since then and I probably feel the best that I ever have in a long time. How's that saying go? what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
