TL;DR at bottom
Last week Wednesday May 17th I woke up with severe lower abdonmial pain, like the worst period cramps i've ever had plus pain up my right side. Could barely move. For a few hours i toughed it out in bed and took some advil, which i then threw up. My partner urged me to go to the hospital and i'm sure glad he did, and listened when he did. We rushed to UBC emergency.
Turns out my iud failed and I was about 5 weeks pregnant. Unfortunatly it was an ectopic pregnancy in my right fallopian tube, which had ruptured. Almost immediatly after getting there I went into hemorrhagic shock. They gave me IV fluids and something for the pain. Right away they an ultrasound and found that i had been bleeding internally. To the point where I had almost completly bled out and there was nothing for my circulatory system to pump anymore to keep me alive.
As soon as they took me back to the room i was in after the ultrasound my heart rate BPM started to sky rocket and my blood pressure dropped signifigantly. They did an emergency blood transfusion with 2 bags of blood to keep me alive as I was real close to being on my way out. A lot of this is fuzzy to me from the shock and meds, but my partner was by my side the entire time and helped me feel safe during the crazziness. They got me an ambulance within 10 minutes to VGH hospital with a small team of 7-10 medical staff around me making sure i was alive. As soon as I got there I had emergency surgery to take the ruptured fallopian tube out 2 litres of blood from my abdomen. For my body weight and hieght, my circulatory system is about 2.28L.. so I bled interally A LOT. I stayed the night in the hospital, was allowed to eat jello in the morning and a small breakfast/lunch. My hemoglobin was still very low so I recived a 3rd blood tranfusion and was able to be discharged.
After this traumatic near death experience and emergency surgrey I am now bed/couch bound for the next 6 weeks to recover. Currently I need help getting up and walking, and mostly everything.

This gofundme is to aid my fincially while I am recovering and unable to work. To help with my rent, groceries, bills and to recoup all the money spent on the evo rental and my medication post surgery. Anything helps and i'm just glad to be alive. If gofundme isnt your thing you can donate right to my paypay or to my ETH wallet.
Thanks <3
