ouch!!!!! now the pic is really on there !!!!

more pre-op testing yesterday stress & echo test.  i kept telling the guy my IV felt funny.. he said it was fine not only am i bruised but have a horrible red rash around it HA

I couldn't see the pic, but I can just imagine.  Isn't it frustrating when people think they know your body better than you?  Sorry you had to go through that...but it will be worth it in the end!

That looks awful! When I was done with my surgery and hospital stay I came home covered in bruises! Still got a couple! It is worth it though!!!

Hey Melissa, Here are the instructions I got from the OFF fourm.  This worked for me. Hi Donna,
I have been able to do both.   Step one is to go to your photos in OH (click the brown arrow at center of screen, a little down from the top).   You need to Add Photos, browsing thru files you have saved on you PC, selecting each one & then Uploading them.    After they are uploaded, you can view them & copy them (I right click on the photo & say copy), then paste them in your post.

it worked!!  thanks see what you have to look forward to? OMG we have the same weight goal !! and are at the same weight how ironic and KEWL is that!!! now if we can just get our srgeries scheduled the same day  haahahahahaa

OMG - That is just too weird!  What are the odds of this happening???? Thanks so much {insert sarcasm here} for letting me see what I will have to look forward to!  OUCH!  Geez they really did mess your arm up but good!

Your poor arm looks terrible.  If that redness doesn't fade or if it gets hot feeling, you need to see a doc and make sure you don't have an infection. Take care and good luck, Pam

I'm so sorry, Melissa. I ALWAYS bruise when they take my blood. it is NO FUN! Hopefully it doesn't hurt anymore and the bruise goes away soon. Good luck with the rest of your preop appts!
