Now that I am home and readjusting to a very sedentary lifestyle I think it appropriate to document my adventure through photographs. One more little project to keep me focused on breaking my day into manageable bites of time.
The ultimate goal is to avoid becoming one with the couch.
Here we go: my hospital staycation and new life with medications!
This sign in the room kept a smile on my face as the days past and the nurse's names changed. They all (Dad included) camped out on the uncomfortable cot by my bed at least one night to keep me company. Well, Baby was there the whole time! Jon was and continues to be an awesome husband and friend to me as I went through emotional rollercoasters of being fearful.
Now this strange contraption is my little internal defender. After looking at my MRV the docs saw the clot was moving north on its path of destruction. In hopes to guard my lungs from the clot they maneuvered this metal guy (well, a different one) through my jugular into my internal vena cava vein. It sits there now and will remain until a week or two after delivery. He may look a little scary, but I'm glad he's there.
My drinks: saline solution + heparin. Delicious cocktail.
Uh oh- watch out tummy! My new drug regimine. Do you like my drug purse complete with syringes? It makes poking my tummy a little more glamorous. No noticeable bruising of the tummy yet, just burns when the meds go in.
Ah! The needle!
My gift to you after having to see my tummy and a scary needle. Look at the pretty flower.
