    Thank you everyone! I’m writing now at 1:09 a.m. Got home from hospital about 5:00 and was still “knocked out” so went to bed. Does IV’s make you gain weight? I gained 2 pounds in the past 2 days. Doesn’t seem possible. Must be all the bags of IV’s? Hope so!

    Anyway, they got the biopsies they needed, sent to pathology and I should know in a week what they found. Doctor said it didn’t look that bad, but I never really feel I’m out of the woods until the report comes back from patholoogy.

    Not much pain, just cramping and bleeding like a sixteen year old, otherwise, okay, I guess. I feel like I can’t wake up. Nightmare over for now.

    Thanks for your support everyone. I was thinking of all the beautiful messages I got while I was in the hospital.

    Hi Karen – So glad to hear that you are back home and that your doc seems optimistic about the results. Hoping for good news in a week!

    Not sure about IV’s and weight gain, although any intake of excess sodium can cause the body to hang on to a bit of extra water weight.

    Wishing you all the best!

    Thank you!!!!


    @Kimberly    , hospital called and Yes, it turns out we can gain weight from IV’s. It has salt in it and makes us retain fluid. Right now, I’ve got to lose 2 pounds so I’m watching my intake of everything salty.

    Otherwise, everything is going well. Now we just need results.

    glad you are mostly on the other side of this, Karen! You will lose this weight rapidly, may even pee it out in next few hours.
    Get a good sleep

    Thankx Shirley. I lost one pound of bloat today. Another pound or so and I’ll be back to fighting weight.

    Feeling pretty good. I’m just worried about the biopsy. If it wasn’t for that, I’d say things are good right now. I’m trying not to get upset. My thyroid is in normal range and everytime I get upset, it seems to go hyper.

    Thank you Deb. I’m doing good and I think I am very impressed with this new doctor. She called me tonight at home and seems concerned about every little thing. It’s rare to have a doctor like this.
