Days and days and days.
Jul. 27th, 2008 04:29 pmHola Dear Readers!
My laptop decided it had Alzheimer's and I've been unable to update. I am doing well and should have arrived home tomorrow, but on Friday afternoon, I developed a blood clot in my right neck and arm. I've been on heparin ever since. Apparently when the body undergoes surgery, it acts crazy, like stopping insulin production and upping clotting factors. Once my clotting factor has been stabalized, I'll be able to come home, probably Tueday, but I'm hoping maybe tomorrow.
In the meantime, it's been a haze of napping and tv-movies and pain medication and blood-draws and IV changes, though I'm feeling better every day. Obviously my chest still hurts but my leg feels better and I should have some exqusitely yucky pictures as soon as I get home. I've reached a saturation-point with hospital food and daytime television. I'm very grateful my dad brought in his laptop for this much needed internet break.
Thank you all for your support and flowers and well-wishes! I'll be back to full-force soon!
