So I spent last night in the ER and in a room today after seeing LOTS and LOTS of blood in the toilet. Today's my birthday which I got to spend fasting in preparation for tomorrow's EGD and colonoscopy. No birthday cake for me, but instead a nice gallon of Golytely in a few minutes. Yum. Feeling really sad. All b-day plans out the window, and another round of "we have no idea what's going on with you." Sigh. sad

Happy Birthday juliet! I'm sorry to hear that you're spending a special day for you in the hospital. Hopefully you will receive a belated birthday gift in a resolution of what's wrong and given a treatment or medications to make you much better!

Hi @Juliet. I'm so sorry about this. I know the feeling....my birthday was a few weeks ago and I spent in the ER, only to come out with a c. diff. diagnosis (my 3rd recurrence this year). I also had a feeding tube at the time because of acute pancreatitis. So (((((hugs))))))! I wish I could come bring you a birthday hat and balloons and sing "Happy birthday" (although the last one you might not appreciate - I don't stay on key very well).

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Juliet!
Happy birthday to you!

(I promise, this was much better than me singing it in person!)

In all seriousness, prayers are with you that you'll be able to recover quickly.

happy birthday and i hope you get to celebrate soon!! birthdays never turn out exactly how we plan eh? and yours really went sour- i'm sorry that you're down.. i would be too. hopefully you can reschedule for another time and hopefully this will just prolong your birthday, a few more weeks :)

take care and let us know how your tests go.

Happy Birthday!!

I understand completely, I spent my first hospital stay during my anniversary. When you finally do get some birthday cake it will be extra special.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Got discharged today, but they have NO IDEA what caused the massive bleeding. Told me to be sure to come back if it happens again. How comforting. Feeling icky from yesterday's testing, but glad to get some sleep in my own bed. At least someone won't be coming in to stick me every 6 hours. I am grateful for the support on this forum!

So sorry to hear you had a lousy birthday. I hope you get to celebrate and do something fun this weekend!
