Hi Iris, I'm back home, haven't had a chance to read blog posts on my mobile...what is happening with you?

Iris Flavia said...

Hello Eileen, I hope the rest can be done outpatient - most of the time I just lay around, waiting...
Yes, Emma is an idol for all sharks!

Iris Flavia said...

Good question, Sami! They still try to find out! I had water in the abdominal cavity, stomach is "hurt". It must be something with the liver and they assume autoimmune hepatitis.... I more or less lie around in hospital, MRI etc, blood tests, weight... At one point I was down to 41.2 kg. WHAT?!!!! Oh, ummm 51.2!!! Week one was good, week two chaos... I hope the rest can be done outpatient.
Oh, and dentist of course, and why not ;-)
I had no pain whatsoever, 2.6l they got out, the rest via meds... No pain whatsoever (apart from back-pain).
Welcome back home or sad your holiday is over?

Thinking about you! I hope you will be able to stay home and get some answers.

You've had a boatload of health things. Thanks for explaining (in your answer to Sami.) I hope they can get everything turned around and that you don't have to return and sending all good wishes for firm answers and quick healing. xoxo

Thank you for sharing Emma's video. It wasn't just touching, but provided some very important information about sharks, and about how fears can impact our understanding of issues. Glad to hear you're back home from the hospital, and blessings!
