It's Ba-aaack
Well, tonight sucked. I spent over 5 hours in the ER. Luckily it wasn't in the waiting room of the ER. I had a nice comfy bed, and TV and they had the lights turned down. They actually got me in and talking to a doctor less than 10 after arriving. So, besides feeling sorry for myself that I was there all alone, it was a pretty relaxing setting. Oh yeah, AND they didn't have Lifetime, so I missed my Dance Moms fix.
But anyway......
My friggin blood clots are back. AKA deep vein thrombosis. And I know I said I wouldn't cuss on my blog this year but DAMN IT!
They found one in my pelvis, which is the same place I had one after I had was pregnant with the boys. Then a new one in my calf.
I'm back on Coumadin and I have to give myself shots of Lovenex, twice daily in the stomach.
I'm pissed. I'm feeling sorry for myself. I'm in pain. But most of all, I'm tired of being broken!
I'm sure I drove everyone nuts while I was laid up in the ER with all of my texts. I was texting Mom giving her a play by play of everything the doctor said so that she could translate it to my simple mind. I was texting the kids making sure everyone had their homework done and their clothes picked out for tomorrow. I was texting a coworker who listened to me complain all day at work how much my leg hurt, he asked for an update once I got to the hospital......guess I went overboard. And I texted the man because he always has a way of making me feel better.
I didn't mean to get on anyone's nerves. I was just scared. I needed the distraction.
Mom is convinced I should still be laid up in the hospital but I am so glad to be at home in my own bed! I don't think I would have done well by myself having to stay in the hospital. I'm a big baby. Besides, the kids need me here. I guess the lovenex starts dissolving the clots pretty quick. It's not like when I had this last time and they had to give me medicine through an IV. Apparently, this shot I take twice daily along with the coumadin blood thinners will dissolve it. It's unknown right now how long I'll have to do the meds. Last time I was on coumadin for a year. It was not fun. Every time I brushed my teeth my gums bled like I was having major surgery.
I'm still scared. But I am thankful it was caught in time before something life threatening happened.
I've got things to do and kids to raise. I can't go anywhere yet.
