So I will begin with the large infected tummy area. I may have posted already about this but it's worth repeating again. About a month or so awhile ago, I had to go to ER to deal with a red hot, burning, raised area on the right side of my hip. The blood had accumulated and it had to be removed with 5 large needles and given meds to clear it up. Seems to have just taken a few days and all was better.
________________________________________________
I then had an issue on the left hip and found an area that was hard and doc said that eventually in a short period of time, being black and purple it would likely reabsorb and quickly clear up, which it did.
________________________________________________
On Friday January the 16th I had a regular appointment with Dr Lollar to see how things were going. Seems most was okay, but there was a large hardened area of blood and I had to keep an eye on it. She told me to watch it and hope it would shrink. If it went softer within 24-48 hrs nothing needed to be done....Turns out it did not soften and the blood began to harden so we had to go to ER. It appears that blood is spreading all over my left hip, my back and a bit down my leg.
_______________________________________________
We are trying to figure out why the blood amount is going down. So far I have had 6 blood transfusions. Blood should be around 120 mine was 80 something which is okay but now dropping to anywhere from 50-60. Each time it drops I have to take 2 fusions, it raises but then drops again. This is why I am still here. Not happy but have to stay.
______________________________________________________
So I will now show you the photos that my friend Samantha took for me. They are naked. The nurses drew with a red marker around the blood filled area. The blood will begin to clear a bit and the skin will begin to turn more normal creamy white, that is a good thing. Hopefully this will clear over time. If you look closely the clearing parts no matter how small, it's a good thing but it's slow. That's really all that can be done in addition to the blood being added. Slow, slow, slow. Where you see the red marker and the white/cream portions showing, that is VERY goof, we hope it continues to clear

Sorry for the detail but I have always said I would post any photos or make comments that are completely honest................Thank you so much for your love, support, prayers and caring regarding my cancer, it means everything to me,

ReplyDeletePoor, poor you! This looks like a dreadful experience. I hope it is not painful and that you become all white again - and fast - so that you can get home to your family.
