You are too Young to be in Here

So the doctor I was freaking out about last night? Totally not necessary because he was amazing.

First I was the youngest person in the waiting room which goes to show you this thing does not happen to almost 24 year olds. But after some waiting, we went into see the doctor and he turned out to be one of the nicest doctors I have ever had. Ever.

He walked into the room telling me I was too young to be there; that there must be some mistake in the charts. Unfortunately there was none but he quickly eased my worries and told me that I should not be concerned because while it shouldn't happen to someone my age, it was treatable. In the discussions throughout the appointment, I found out I had multiple blood clots; maybe I knew this and buried it deep in my mind, or maybe I honestly didn't hear her when she told us at the hospital.  But there are multiple blood clots in my leg that the doctor believes came about because of dehydration from my stomach bug. When I told him that I had been sick before this all started, he said that there was no question the blood clots formed from dehydration.

He told me that the shots in my stomach will end when the other medicine level reaches 2.5.  He also seemed to believe that I won't need to be on the other medicine for a whole year but who knows with that one.  I'm going to see him again in two weeks to get an ultra sound again on my leg to see the difference between the one from the hospital and the one in the future. He also tried to get me to stand on my leg which he was on some serious drugs about, but I did stand and try to put my leg down as much as I could which was painful.  In the coming days/weeks though, he wants me to try to get the clots to break down. 

Let's see what else because I feel like I am leaving out a ton of information which is not a good thing. I'm glad I got the reassurance that everything will be fine over and over again.  We asked about the blood clot moving to my lungs and he told me not to worry about that at all because that is something that happens within the first 24 hours.  That would have been nice to have known last week but I mean, I guess it's good to know now because I will no longer worry about the blood clots coming to my lungs.

Today I got to visit everyone from work when we went to get numbing cream for the shots. Let's all let out a sigh of relief for that one because I have never looked forward to something more.  But seeing everyone at work made me super excited because I miss everyone so much and even the hustle and bustle of dealing with all the customers.  One of the regular customers told me I had to stop kicking my boyfriend because that's what happens when I kick my boyfriend. I could only help but laugh.

Tomorrow is more blood and seeing the regular doctor.  I just hope whoever takes my blood is nice this time and not so standoffish like the last visit.  I also hope we are told I don't need these stupid shots anymore because when that happens I will be dancing for joy.  Okay, maybe not actually dancing but I may have to bust out some moves.

Thanks once again for everyone's concern and well wishes.  It really means the world to me.
