Things went beyond my ability to cope in the hospital yesterday, They tried to take bloods and insert a cannula but they were incredibly ham-fisted and messed it up completely - it was so painful - the two junior doctors eventually gave up and the senior had to do it. It's irritating because I have such good and accessible veins. I felt really nauseous afterwards and tired where I'd braced myself for so long.
I was taken to the CT room but the procedures there got out of control too, additional things were found during the pre-scan and the sedation didn't work and the biopsies were incredibly painful so I ended up melting down. They were flummoxed - even though we had explained in great detail what could happen and after everything went wrong, my inner 8-year old popped out and I completely burned out. My memory is patchy from there on.
Even today, I feel so tired from my muscles tensing and shaking so much and feel unstable and tearful.
One strange thing - they found I have no spleen. Really strange - I've not had any operations and never been probed by aliens so I don't know where that went.
that sounds awful, i cant stand needles, never mind repeated botchups. I do hope u get good news. fingers crossed.
wishing u well
