Title: Crappy, crappy, crappy day
Post by: sickofbeingsick on November 04, 2008, 04:43:39 AM

Monday was a bad day. I go to the clinic to dialyze only to find out my graft is barely working. So they send me to this imaging center to get declotted. It's a type of angioplasty where they stick a wire into your arm with a balloon on the end and snake out whatever's in there. I've had the procedure before with no problems, but this time it was painful. And bloody. I go back to the clinic to dialyze with no problem. Afterwards my hubby and I go out for a casual meal down the street. I was at the table just finishing up my meal when all of a sudden BLOOD STARTING GUSHING DOWN MY ARM. I was MORTIFIED. The crowd of waiters and waitresses gathering around my table gawking at me didn't help either. I go back to the clinic to get cleaned and patched up only to go home to endure 7 hours of the worst stomach  pain I have ever had in my life :banghead; Thank God the day is over. Hell of a day only S.O.B.S could have...

When you left the restaurant, did you thank them for a bloody good meal? 

Just trying to find some humor for you in an awful day.  Sounds terrible, but I hope you can find something in there to smile about.  It's the only way to survive, IMHO.
