Sling and more....

Zoe went to Guides Christmas party in the morning, Birthday party/KRock hockey game in the afternoon. I spent 8:30-4:30 at KGH Hospital. Had an awful attack of not breathing and severe pain last night. . We nearly called 911 but it subsided...waited to see if anything was going to happen but I fell asleep and woke up this morning. Dropped Zoe off and headed to ER. They did an x-ray on my chest and left arm. I had several issues. My wrist has tendinitis and my shoulder has bones that have calcified and severe bursitis. I over worked my shoulder by cross stitching too much for long periods of time. I am now in a sling and been given some narcotic medication to help with the pain, it's that bad, Haven't stitched in 4 weeks, this happened after I stitched "I shall wear purple"  I cannot stitch until my shoulder is better :( I have to go back to KGH for a VQ scan to see if I have new blood clots in my lungs which may have caused the chest attack which will not be good news.. Wednesday I have surgery for a new port and pammi  treatment.  I need a break!


This is what my sling looks like, but this is not me

Miracle Smiles!

Nothing like smiling so much my face hurt. Why you ask? This is why....

Nurse Sarah: Oh Hi Velda, our miracle patient is back! How are you, you look great! (We continue and finish up with what she needs to do)

Intern Dr P.M. Hi my name is "P" Nurse Sarah told me I just had to come in and meet you, everyone here says they are amazed by you. (blah, blah continue my check up etc)

Dr. O. (one of my all time fave docs/radiologist) Big smile on his face and says "Ah my miracle patient, you look fantastic" Says all my reports are great, nothing new, see you in 3 months....

I'm glad I'm doing well, but it just blows my mind and makes me smile the biggest smile when my hospital staff says such nice things -- I get the same remarks from my oncologists Dr. T and Dr. L and my fabulous nurse Charity and my dozen phlebotomists. They all make me feel so good :)
