I have started swelling again.  I am going back to the hospital at 10:30 for cat scans.  Dr. says if I have a clot.... I go back in the hospital..... if I dint have a clot...he is taking the damn catheter out!

Please pray for no clot!

Around the world we are all dancing the Cannulate Tribes No Clots Dance!   I am sorry this has happened, again.   Along with the dance, I will do some praying!   :grouphug;
