Hi all, I hope you are all feeling well. The last few weeks have been interesting. Really bad shoulder pain, I think I mentioned it in another post, a shoulder nerve being enacted because of an infected chemo port. Well, after the initial dramas of trying to find someone in the medical field to help me, my oncologist took one look at the port on Monday just gone and said 'get ready you're going to hospital'.
A surgeon later removed my infected port and replaced it with another on the other side. And whatever else happened while I was under, finally allowed some massive blood clots that had formed around the port, to disappear.
Here' my issue, and I hope you don't mind if I vent a little bit.
During my recent hospital stay, I was told that not only was the original chemo port the cause of blood clotting and severe pain, it was also the cause of the Arrhythmia attacks I've been having that started at the exact same time. Evidently, the tube that is pushed through the vein had been placed way too close to my heart.
Anyway, on a positive note - if we don't include saying that after finally getting home after three days in hospital, at dinner time I took an antibiotic tablet the hospital had provided to me, and had in immediate allergic reaction to it. My body from the chest up went bright red and I started to itch badly. It died down fairly quickly, fortunately.
So what was I saying? Oh yeah. On a positive.
Tomorrow, my friends, is another day 😎
