I'm back in the hospital yet again with a clot in port/neck.cant I get a break! Just saw the supervising doctor. She's putting me back on Dilaudid and I'll be going home tomorrow (!!!!!) With 15-20mg of oxy. She is totally on board with my pain management. She is super cool. I'm going to be put on lovanox injections twice a day for 3 months instead of elaquis because I'm out of the weight range of it being effective for my body

I brought a pack of diapersna d my partner brought me some too so no problems I'm just over this all.

This reads as though your body has put you through the wringer. Please keep us informed during your recovery. Supportive communities such as this can be vital for you. I hope your next post will be positive, and will recount your uneventful recovery.

Things can seem pretty bad at times, but you'll pull through! We tend to imagine the worst that can happen but sometimes the future is brighter than we think! We're all pulling for you.

Thanks everyone. It's not been easy. The blood thinners I'm on (lovanox injections) bruise my body terribly. I'm supposed to be on them for three months. I'm grateful, however, that my blood clot has not (at least so far) resulted in a stroke.
