Returning to the land of the living

I am finally home from the hospital. I don't know the name of it at the moment. Later on, I will write it out for anyone who is interested. It was an excellent hospital.  I have nothing but good things to say about it. I was here at home for four days with no food or water. It was after several days of diarrhea. My landlord realized that I hadn't been outside for days and he contacted my friend Ellie. She contacted Leslie. Within a few minutes I had four women here, helping me. I was really out of it. They called the doctor who came here and said he thought it was my gall bladder. But I was so weak that they couldn't do anything except try to get me healthy enough for surgery. Leslie was with me all the way. I think I would have just died if it hadn't been for her insisting that I go to the hospital. IMSS was totally out of the question. I was at death's door and could not deal with them at that point.

I was in the hospital for I think four days with constant intravenous injections of antibiotics. I had sepsis and blood poisoning when I left Ajijic. My white blood count was too low for them to operate. They finally gave me white blood cells because the doctor said I could die if the gall stones didn't come out right away. I am probably getting all this medical information wrong. Just writing what I remember. So they took out the gall bladder and sent me home. I am stronger now, recovering.  I think the hospital bill will be around 15,000 American dollars. But I doubt if I would have survived the IMSS hospital. It was touch and go for a few days with me. I had constant supervision in the hospital. Everyone was so respectful. Leslie was always at my side. 

Strange, I remember the feeling of floating away at one point. I knew I was dying but it was so peaceful!  I don't know if I would have made it without all the loving helpers and especially Leslie. She refused to let me give up!

So that is my story for now. I think I will be okay....... I am glad to be alive........ Thank you all for the loving wishes for my recovery.
