Well, I am back at my CCC, awaiting an arteroigram to have a burst blood vessel embolised . I was coughing up blood and phlegm the weekend and saw my ENT today who scoped me and saw a scab near my carotoid artery and ordered an emergency admission. I got blood work , CT scan, talked to lots of residents, and waited from 11am until 9 pm for an open bed. I sent my wife home at 5 pm so she could eat and rest up. My son ran over my iPad at 10pm and he will skip his law school classes tomorrow to sit and comfort my wife during the operation. Worse part is that after listing all the terrible things that could go wrong, my wife is very worried and afraid. Even worse is that since the bleeding has stopped , then they might not see anything to fix,.
I have been vomiting the lastbtwomweeks but finally felt good.
I will be out of it tommorrow until late at night. The residents said "comforting" things like we put the catheter in your groin rather than your neck,so is there is a suddenz clot or stroke , it would just be your toes and not your brain.
Keep the faith
