Inline image Won't go into the whole story but I went into the hospital on a Tuesday at 9 AM for a test and before I knew it, or was told, I had a stent put in just above the wrist area, into a clogged artery and woke up to be told not to move my right hand! And that I would be in the hospital overnight which turned out to be 2 nights so what to do? Sure, take pictures of the food, the room, the menus, the outside view, the nurse's chart and the arm! Here I am 5 days later and don't understand why the arm is redder, more swollen and hurts more than it did Wednesday! I have been given an additional blood thinner making 3 I am taking so, sensibly, at least to me, I reason that I can't have a blood clot! Was thinking of going to the ER but for a couple of reasons--illogical ones--I will wait and call the doctor tomorrow. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we are having our early evening rain which will make the humidity rise and going out means fogged up glasses! And how are you doing?? :O)

Wow, must have been a nasty blockage. Thank God they found it and treated it so quickly! It may or may not make you feel better, but I’ve noticed that bruises (especially those inflicted by medical people) hurt worse before they get better. Or it’s getting older. As long as the cops don’t show up accusing anyone of beating you.

I hope your arm is fine, but I would not wait, call your doctor and explain that it is redder than the day before.

Well, better than you are at the moment. Sorry to hear about all those problems. It was a lazy, very rainy day here in western Oregon, but we really needed it and more.

Oh, my! So sorry you went through all of that. I hope your bruised arm heals up naturally and soon. The Bat Mitzvah was a huge success. Back home now.
