Well, my surgery went about as wrong as it could have gone

So, my surgery on Friday went so horribly wrong that I'm only getting out of the hospital NOW because of it. So, as you may be aware I had to get my tonsillitis and adenoids removed on Friday the 13th and the surgery itself went alright. However, when I got home I was sitting on my couch watching Godzilla vs Mothera and drinking juice and painkillers down, while I was watching the poorly dubbed monster movies I started to throw up, a lot, and it was blood. The spots where the adenoids and tonsillitis were didn't clot SO I had to be rushed back to the hospital to have emergency surgery to stop the bleeding while I vomited the entire way. To make a long story short, I ended up with dehydration from the vomit and had to stay in the hospital until just a bit ago to remain under observation with an IV in me for over 30 hours.

geez, that sucks. was there a medical reason that it didn't clot? do you have some illness? or were the pain killers also blood thinners or something?

Sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better. I should have wished you more luck. I actually saved my birthday wish for someone, I should have wished for you...
It's not continuous medical problem right?

I really hope you are recovering well. I'd know I'd be terrified if that all happened to me.

No, they did, I just have a problem with forming blood clots, also I have chronic heartburn so that took away what clots I was able to form, so they had to cauterize the inside of my throat.

I hope you're doing well and things are all sorted out now.
Any time the words "cauterized" and "throat" are used in the same sentence... well, yikes. Best of luck with the recovery.
