Yesterday while my best friend Tammy was visiting, bearing chai tea latte and red velvet somethings (I've never had red velvet things omg!), I suddenly saw my arm inflame and turn red hot and pain started immediately. After 6 hrs in emerg last night, after consulting with my home care nurse, they gave me two pills and sent me home. Today I had an ultrasound and it's been determined that I have a clot. They aren't going to do anything unless it does something. I'm tired of things going wrong. Can't I just have normal cancer?
((hugs)) Be gentle with yourself today. Praying.
ReplyDeleteAwww man that looks and sounds VERY painful Velda!! Big HUGS to you. Your inner (and outter) strength really does inspire me. I am a total wus and doubt I could handle a drop of what you are going through.
ReplyDeleteLOVE YA!!
Your Sista'
The picture does not do justice to just how mean this spot looks, nor the heat that eminates from it.
ReplyDeleteI don't see you as often as I like and that quiet moment, starbucks and you made it all just perfect.
Stupid cancer!
Oh Velda, it looks the same as phlebitis! Ouch!!!! Ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit... sick as it might be... the question "why can't I have normal cancer?" made me laugh a little bit. Not because your pain is funny, nor the obstacles... nor the cancer. It is that it is cancer... the big C... Such a big word - a big problem that many can't even think of it, or look at it. Matter of fact, my aunt who has also been told it is terminal. When she FOUND a lump she just ignored it and hoped it would go away with wishes until it was so bad that she could not pretend even a little longer. I guess, what I mean is why does anyone need to have cancer at all?
Your acceptance, of it, is something for me that is a near miracle.
Hug, hug,
Laura
