Craaaaaaaap!!!!!!!!!!!! Stick a fork in me, I am DONE!!! Crispy brown and burnt, Done.
When I did my infusion in the morning, it was still giving a lot of resistance. Another dose of heparin didn't help either. I put in a call to my Dr and was told that I needed to go to the ER again.Ugh!!! This time wasn't as big of an issue as the last time since it was not 100% blocked and clotted with blood. But the ER was packed so I had to do a lot of waiting. I brought a book, so that at least kept me occupied. But they had to do another chest x-ray, to make sure that the PICC line is in place, so that kind of worries me about more radiation exposure. But on the funny side is that at each step of the game, they had to ask me if there was any chance I was pg.reggers:
Not a snowball's chance in hell!!!!!! ound:
The one male nurse cracked up when I said that *very* emphatically. He said that he had to offer me either a pg test or I had to sign a consent form, and said he guessed I wanted the consent form.
My friend texted me while I was there and asked if anyone was with me,, so I said no, that I was nice and quiet with my book. Except for the crazy-lady down the hall, screaming how she needed someone to open the door to let her out or everyone would be sorry. Her husband dropped her off, said he would be right back and never showed up.The hospital was trying to contact him but he wasn't answering the phone so they ended up having to call the police to see if he was at home. Aside from her dementia there was no medical reason to keep her. So sad.
On a side note- in spite of all of the HIPPA laws, there must be absolutely no expectation of privacy in an ER.
I did ask every nurse/NP that came in to see me on what I can do to prevent this from happening again and they all said the same thing, pretty much that is is just one of those things that happens. Great :ballchain:
At least the sun is shining today. yay! Yesterday was gloomy but that worked out since I didn't have any plans to go to the lake. That would have pissed me off if I had to spend a nice day inside.
We were all invited to my IL's Cousins Party at the one cousin's lake house by me. I don't think I can deal with people. The kids aren't around and Gary isn't up to going. It is too exhausting trying to make small talk with people I only see a few times a year.
Tomorrow I will be social. My friend invited us to a Swedish Crayfish Party She lives a few houses down from me so if I get wiped out, I can just walk home.
Since I didn't get any scrapping done yesterday, i would like to do that today.
Hope that all of you have a wonderful day!!!
