Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2005Back in the hospital
Well that wasn't a long reprieve. Got to go home and unpack, pay the bills, take a shower and develop a bleed inside my right knee. The lovonex apparently made my knee bleed and it swollen and hurts like hell. Gravity drew the blood down into my foot and ankle as well. It's lovely shades of purple don't ya know. So... here I am back are MD Anderson. I'm on the same floor, different room but just as nice. Different nurses but they still seem nice. I'll let you more after I talk with the hemotologist.

DianeW Yes, in ten days. I'm scared to go now. What if this happens on the ship?? DianeW I believe they have medical care on those ships and can air lift out by helicopter for emergencies. Loujean >Yes, in ten days. I'm scared to go now. What if this happens on the >ship?? DianeW yes they do and I did buy cruise insurance but was fast as these last two things happened to me and as serious as they could have been if not caught early is a bit daunting when I think of being out in the middle of the ocean when it occured. Cyberhugs, DianeW Diane--this is enough....I am hereby proclaiming no more stuff for Diane W day--I am so sorry you are bouncing in and out of hospital--get better--gentle hugs SignatureLove, Alix "We are all pencils in the hand of God." ~Mother Teresa >>Well that wasn't a long reprieve.

SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Diane, I am sorry to hear this sweetie. you will remain in my prayers and thoughts. Just a humorous thought here, I hope it brings a smile to you . What did they do when you were in the hospital, put a yoyo string on you so they can just pull you back in. I hope you heal quickly and it is all taken care of soon. I am wishing you a much better year this coming year. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

Carole (((((diane))))) Sending love and prayers, Vickie B. Oh no, Diane! Sending you prayers and good wishes for healing. Bonnie Oh come on. Are you serious?? What a tough time you are going through. Continued prayers and good vibes coming your way, Char Thank you everyone for the continuted well wishes and prayers. I can't tell you how much I look forward to your positive thoughts on the monitor when I come down here. I'm kicked out of my room for a bit while they get me a new bed. They use air mattresses here and mine had a terminal leak. Well the pain in my leg is better today and I'm waiting for more blood test results. My hemoglobin dropped from 12 last night to 9.7 this am so I'm being closely monitored now with orders for whole blood should it go to 8. I've never had blood before. They did a CT scan of my leg which lasted all of 5 minutes. Should get those results laster tonight. I feel pretty good all in all. If I could just stay this way and have my blood tests straighten out. Lets see my PT/INR needs to be 2.0 and my hemoglobin needs to be above 10. So simple right? Well I'm going to head back to my room and clorox clean my new bed rails.......Cyberhugs to all! DianeW i am upset to turn on my 'puter and find you back in the hospital! not fair at all. and a leaky bed to boot. you're attitude remains upbeat, tho. i don't know how i feel about the cruise. i guess you will know in ten days if it's advisable. why is your hgb dropping? get well soon, diane {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{DianeW}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Well, shoot, girl!!! What a major bummer to have to go back so quickly. Praying that this all gets straightened around and that you can still get home and recoup a bit and then go on vacation and just enjoy yourself for a change. You certainly need that and deserve that!!! Prayers ongoing!!! Keep us posted dear friend! Donna G Diane - Good news on the numbers front. The hgb is back up to 10.6 so that's acceptable. And my PT seems to have stablized as well. Two out of four doctors agree that the right leg problem is a hemotoma -- the other two say it's more cellulitis. Of course, I can't get to talk to them all at once. Too bad it's not like House where they all get together and brainstorm. A vascular surgeon popped in today briefly and said he'd come by tomorrow. He was waiting for the helicopter to bring in his next patient who had a ruptured anurysm. Boy makes my probems seem minor. We were talking nicely about what my leg swelling could be from and how my wounds were progressing when outside the window is the chopper and off he goes. He said he'll be back tomorrow. When I saw him a few years ago he found no physical reason for the swelling in my legs. Idiopathic. Maybe we'll have better luck this time. So I guess I'm here for the weekend. Today makes the 9th day here. I'm not even counting the day I left cause I was gone less than 24 hours! Time to shower. read the mail and pay bills. And unpack and pack. Well the right wound was bleeding a lot today so I have to keep it elevated. No sitting here for long periods of time. And I have a new bed. :) Very comfy. And about the cruise ... I've pretty much given in to the fact that I'm not going. Just too risky. This has all come up so fast each time in a matter of hours. I just really don't want to take that risk. Tulum has been there for centuries......it will be there when I'm well enough to enjoy it without endangering myself. Oh --I've started another one of your books and it's keeping me great company! Can''t think of the name! But it's about the sister who's murdered at the shore? Anyway --- nice to have you onboard! Cyberhugs ...DianeW the bay at midnight, diane w. i like the feeling that i'm there visiting you in the hospital! you're making the right decision about the cruise. smart girl. feel better, diane Diane,been following the posts and am so sorry you are back in the hospitol.I do hope everything turns in the right direction for you.It's amazing how much a person can take,but enough already for you.Will keep you in my prayers.Carol hgb dropping too??!??! I really don't like this. Time to send lots more healthy Diane vibes down to central FL. You'd best get well and out of there before we fly down and bring this winter snow with us! SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare OK, woman, we're gonna wrap you up in soft quilted cotton and keep you safe so you can go on your cruise. Good grief, Hon! Enough already. DeeTee > Well that wasn't a long reprieve. Got to go home and unpack, pay the > bills, take a shower and develop a bleed inside my right knee.
