Okay, I've decided to attend the "Speak-Out" tonight at the local crisis center. I'm so nervous and even cried earlier but I think it was a good cry (probably sounds like I'm high). I'm hoping that I can get through this without having a meltdown. I have noted some things that I'm going to say as a sexual assault survivor. I'm quite nervou...

Was doing my best to have a good normal clot day. Dr phoned.. INR at 1.4 - trying NOT to have a panic attack over this is harder than not... doing some breathing excercises. Also, ultrasound shows there is still a clot, but no results on if it got better? WTF?? Proneness test still not back yet.
All in all.. I feel like CRAP emotionally today now. grrrrrrrrrrr1 Recommendation3 Comments -
I just have no clue what to expect. I have been told that this is "life threatening" but not much else..a new sonogram test at some point, coumadin every night and no salads..sigh. They never told me I would still swell so much and my leg be so red still. I am grateful, don't get me wrong..I never had the PE's but constantly alert for them, it is like feeling like a monster is i...1 Recommendation4 Comments

OK good grief, I must have asked it or maybe all you have to do is think it. What else can go wrong. Many of you know about my recent ordeal with the on call Doctor telling me to DC the lovenox, and how my Hubby managed to save the day. Many of you also know my ordeal with my recent colonoscopy, then having to go back to the hospital and have the one spot recauterized. Well at work last night I s...1 Recommendation3 Comments

Well guys, I didnt have a good night, I am scared. Scared of what has happened, scared of what is going to happen, scared of what they will find, scared for my future.
As i lie in my hospital bed, all i see are posters for ovarian cancer staring me in the face, ovarian cancer.......the so called silent killer. Will i be lucky and have a low grade cancer and my op to remove all is sufficient, ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -
Well, I had my 1st wobble last night.......not a huge surprise, but it kind of came out of the blue.
I now realise just how alone I am with this. I know I have you guys here but I mean in RL. I SO wanted someone to just cuddle me or hold me last night, let me cry and talk shit...someone to just be here. I found this very frightening, how the HELL am I going to get through the next 20 weeks a...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
Well I survived my first day back at work - or rather my first morning. Had lots of good luck texts, and support from some lovely DS friends, but it was stll reallydaunting.
Most of my colleagues were really nice, but when you're back, you're back. They must've heaved a sigh of relief to hand over all the tough stuff. They were so keen for me to leave exactly at the appointed hour - o...1 Recommendation5 Comments
