Health scare :(

I'm too squeamish for all this

 

Actually, I think I've changed my mind!!!

 

My artery veins are really close to the surface of my skin, if I ever have blood taken they never need to use a tourniquet, I am Count Dracula's dream girl!!!!

 

Glad to hear your results came back ok NorthantsGeezer

 

Sorry to hear you have been in the wars again @NorthantsGeezer and hope that everything turns out ok for you Did you have to go to NGH for your procedure?

 

Thanks @Kandy . It was private, but done at NGH because they had the equipment, which is 'really' expensive they said.

 

Except broken/bruised ribs, or pulled muscles anywhere in the torso or shoulders

 

I was just laughing at a pun by @Adendoll in another thread. That didn't do my groin any favours. Nor does coffin and sneezing . I have to put pressure on it.

 

Well, CL may have escaped A&E, but I have just been told to get my backside down there! Bruising from groin to my knee (zig zag) may be one thing, but my calf is aching, which may suggest a blood clot (plus I am diabetic). I am getting fed up with all of this.

 

Oh no!!!! you poor thing, do hope you're OK.

 

got my fingers crossed for you NG, update us as soon as you can x

 

Thanks everyone
Well that was pretty quick, and I am back home.
There was a few intakes of breath during the viewings. They gave me straight to the A&E doctor. Apparently they have like a GP there too.
She said I have lost about 1/2 litre of blood into my thigh. The ward sister I spoke to did the right thing by being careful and sending me there, but there is no clot thankfully
I have to keep active, but rest too (leg raised and body reclined). Work is a no no, it could take weeks to heal. She suggested I get a sick note from my doctor to cover the days I am due to work over Christmas.
I am pretty fed up with all of this now, but at least I am home over Christmas. I feel for those who aren't. It would be so nice to do something for those poor unfortunate ones.

 

So glad to hear you're OK, I can imagine you are fed up, I would be as well.

 

Thank you @val

 

You may be fed up right now NG but it's better to be safe than sorry. Look after yourself and you'll be back on the right road soon.
