In Hospital Unexpectedly

My wrist was really bothering me the last few days. Today I woke up and my arm was swollen from the elbow to my fingers. Went to Doctors and they did xrays and an ultrasound. Turns out I have a blood clot in my wrist that they think was caused by the I.V. from my surgery two weeks ago. So now they are pumping me full of anti inflamitories and blood thinners.... The good news is I've lost 32 lbs in two weeks!!

I have some weird knot in my wrist just south of where the IV was in my hand. I go to the doc thurs. I sure hope it's not a clot! Scary!

Yikes! Well I'm glad it is being taken care of. Woo-hoo 32 pounds in two weeks! AWESOME!

So sorry about the blood clot but congrats on the 32 lbs! That's amazing!

Clots are definitely scary.. Not something you want to take lightly.

Good Luck and Congrats on the weight loss!

Sorry about your issue but the 32 lbs is amazing...congrats! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'm so glad that you got in and got care for the blood clot. How scary for you. Congrats on your weight loss. While you were in the hospital did you receive shots in your stomach several times a day for clots?

Nate! I wish you all the best in recovering from your clot. Hopefully this is the last we hear of clots :)
