Absence apologies again!

[Guest guest]

Sorry I haven't been around again, I had three vessels in my right

wrist burst on Wednesday evening and ended up spending 4 hours in

the hospital being monitored and having my blood work checked. My

clotting factors are a little low again, but they think it may have

been my IV line that has weakened the veins further casing such a

large bleed. I have been splinted and iced for the pas few days

trying to relieve the " bulges " in my veins and thankfully I've had

no more bleeds. The main worry though is a very painful lump on the

side of my wrist which we fear may be a thrombosis or aneurysm. I'm

hoping to have my doctor check it out tomorrow, but have to confess

I am rather scared at present.

My shoulder is continuing to be painful and sublux slightly. I see

Mac on Wednesday, so I know he will take great care to find out what

is happening, be completely honest with me and hopefully reassure

me. I actually saw Mac and his registrar while I was in ER on

Wednesday, both of them concerned I had injured my shoulder! They

went out of their way to come see me and were very concerned about

my wrist, even pulling strings to find my results. I was very

grateful to them for caring enough to spend time checking I was

okay...they didn't have to do that after a long day in their own

clinic. As I've said before though, Mac is incredibly protective of

me...it's almost like having an extra parent on hand!

Anyway, I had better go as I need to rest and ice my wrist again. I

promise I will let you know how things go as and when I get to know

anything about my current Odd Bod rebels. Please know that I am

thinking of you, keeping you all in my prayers and counting myself

extremely lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.

Love and hugs....Jo
