Hemotoma

Mar 26, 2009

ok ok so yesterday i was sitting on the couch and i slowly moved forward to get up...WELL .... as i was getting up i felt a weird kinda  pull on my lower stomach  so i lifted up my shirt and BOOM a big bruise started to develope by one of the incisions me of course went into panic mode thinking i popped pulled or was about to die so i called my surgeon and yes i got a nurse how sweet oh and i left a message for the floor nurse to call and told them what happened so im waiting and waiting a hour goes by and im like ok ill wait 15 more minutes so i called again and once again explained my situation girl confirms she gave the nurse the message so finally nurse gets on the phone im explaining the swelling and how its hard and bruised oh but before i explained she was about to have me come in until she asked me to describe it of course..so yeah aparently its a hemotoma and if it swells up gets hot or i feel faint or fever to come in but other than that put a hot pack on it and my body will absorb this lovely hemotoma AKA bloodclot ...Ok enough about that everything else is going just great...im getting a decent amount of fluids atleast i hope lol because i wasnt on IV like everyone else lol mine kept blowing out so finally they were like ok were gonna have to up ur fluids and this wasnt even 24 hrs after surgery..so they were strict on my intake and output yeah it was fun lol not! lol over all im feeling great! and who ever invented pain pills man oh man i love you guys! i use to refuse to take pain meds but this time i knew i would have to and let me tell you my body is like clock work it knows when its time to take em .. but for me i dont like drugs period so i only half dose myself and honest;y im just as good and i like that im not all zombie like lol ok enough of my blabbing ill put some lovely bruise pics up tomorrow
