Went to the hip aspiration

[Guest guest]

Hi all! I had the hip aspiration done on Wednesday in Toronto and well

it freaking hurt I expected to be totally numb or something from the

supposed freezing they used - yeah it started working about five minutes

after they injected it *snort*. Anyway I didn't watch it being down can

handle needles just don't care for seeing them if you know what I mean.

Even got to see the sample they removed I always thought that the fluid

around the joint was supposed to be clear (at least that is what I

understood from all the sites I checked out - maybe I was wrong). Anyway

the sample wasn't a clear liquid/fluid at all well it was clear but

redish clear like someone had added some blood to half a glass of water

color). Anyway I know have a week or so to find out the results the

surgeon who did it told me (it wasn't mine). I am a little nervouus

abour the results but at the same time I hope they find something

because I really can't go on like this much longer. My surgeon also

asked for more blood work he did it just a month ago last time I saw him

so hopefully he thinks/knows something is up.

Sorry about the tmi I know I am bad like that lately anyway.
