I cant remember this happening to any other members in the almost 8 years Ive been here. Thats not to say it wouldnt be possible, I have heard of graphs failing. Im very sorry that I dont have a more definitive answer for you. Please understand, our group is made up of fellow patients and caregivers, we lack the years of medical school and training.

You are doing the best thing by seeing the doctor on Monday. If your husband starts bleeding alot or if any major swelling then err on the side of caution and go to the ER right away.

Please keep us posted with what the doc says Monday. Wishing your husband all the best with his recovery.
