I just can't get a break.
When the nurse took the ASH catheter bandage off my shoulder today at dialysis, it pulled part of the bandage for the top part of my other incision. This made it start bleeding profusely. The nurse thought it stopped 3 separate times and had to change out a bandage 3 different times. It was ok for a few minutes, then randomly started up all over again. Finally got it cleaned up again and I kept pressure on it for 15 minutes. Towards the end of treatment, my arm started hurting quite a bit as I hadn't brought the pillows to hold it up. That couldn't be enough. When I stood up for the blood pressure check at the end, I felt dizzy and weak. Things are mostly better now, although I'm still not feeling the best.
Just the day I needed after this week. I see the doctor tomorrow for the post-surgery checkup, I have no idea why he wanted to wait a week to check things out. Hopefully I get good news and things can calm down.
As always FHGWGADS!
