Im OUT!!! Was released yesterday and Im feeling ok, still with lots of pain and movement is slow *which annoys me to no end* But Im home!
I did have complications, Doc said i was a bleeder on the table *not good* and lost some blood. Then did not wake up from the surgery well so it took some time to get me to a room *Thanks to all those who called and yes groggy Syren remembers lol* then was told my blood count continued to drop overnight leading them to believe I may have to go for another surgery as I had some internal bleeding so they gave me a transfusion to watch the blood count and of course it did not stabilize much but fell again, then I developed a fever for two days and they watched that and fed me antibiotics like crazy. I did gain a reputation while I was there as being unstickable! They could not find my veins and having them dig for them was not easy for me, it hurt like hell and I wanted to kick a few of them especially when they brought a novice in training to stick me and she dug about till I really thought I was going to hurt her. *so not like me* But in my defense it hurt and im terrified of needles. So my arms are lovely shades of blacks and blues and purples with a hint of green here and there, just in time for St. Patrick's Day! Then I got in trouble with my nurse for tidying my room, by the look on her face you would have thought I was robbing the National Treasury! *Grins, ok bad because Im a wee bit stubborn, but all this stuff was on my tray and I could not see my lovely flowers!*
Thanks to ALL who called me, again I remember each one of you! Thanks to Leigh, Captain Sterling and the Crewe of the Archangel for the lovely flowers! But most of all thanks to all of you who posted in this thread and Long Tom I think it's great you donated blood because i ended up having a second transfusion before I was allowed to come home. I know there is more I should be saying but Im tired and need to rest so will leave shortly for such. But just wanted you to know that I thank each one of you...love you all!
