Ep. 15: 28 days in hospital...26 blood transfusions...and the mystery continues

In this episode, Joe talks about going back into the hospital.  He spent over two weeks in the hospital and two different hospitals to find the resolution of where the bleeding in his intestines are coming from.  In 31 days, he spent 28 days in the hospital, 26 blood transfusions, and lost over 20 pounds.  He talks about how his body shut down and how frustrating it was going through all the tests and not finding where it was coming from so the doctors could resolve it.  Joe's body so worn down that he had to learn how to walk again and get some type of muscle strength to be able to go home and function.  It is hard to stay positive in this situation, but Joe tried his best everyday to find something to be positive about.
