=====================================
Bleeding ulcer. Dark, dark black stool. Was pumping dry.
I remember arriving at the hospital but very little else for the next two days.
Surgery, cat scan and lots of blood but I don't remember any of it.
Girlfriend told me.
They operated down the throat, endoscopy, clips.
Woke up for a few minutes and realized I might be about to die.
Was slightly pissed off about it.
Realized that I had no control about it so stopped worrying.
Worried less than two minutes, maybe less than one.
Thought about not going back to sleep to stay alive. Went back to sleep not knowing if I was going to wake up.
One blessing was that there was no one in the room to give me any advice.
I had an ongoing delusion that had a complicated, developing story line during that time.
