Hello all, my running has come to a standstill for a few months due to an unexpected ruptured Spleen Basically there I was at home going about the usual when I had a pain down my left side stomache, I shouted to my wife that I didnt feel right and the next thing I know I was staring up at Ambulance men
They rushed me to hospital where the doctors explained I may have a ruptured bowel but talking to the surgeon after she explained that the operation took 4 hours as they couldnt find the bleed and a total of 1 and a half LT`s of blood had drained into my body cavity
finally the bleed was found and it was coming from my spleen which they have now removed
I stayed in hospital a total of 14 days and I am finally out and on the mend
Have to be on Penicillion the rest of my life unfortunately
At least um still here
Cheers all
