Special thoughts, hugs and prayers for your speedy recovery!

So sorry to hear you ended up back in the hospital. But when reading thru this I thought to myself light headed and pounding is cause to worry. Glad your feeling better and praying all goes well from here. Take care of yourself

I am glad to say I am home! Blood count came back up to where the doctors are comfortable and will follow up with my ortho (who had been on vacation this week) on Monday. First I have to get blood drawn on Monday and have the hospital send the results to him. I figure they want to keep tabs on it for a bit. I feel so much better being home! Thank you again for everyone's prayers...they have helped me more than you will ever know.

Great news your home

Oh, lovenox! Is that stuff still terribly expensive? I'm so sorry this happened and I think the hematoma must be of the size & nature that will resorb or they would address that in hospital. I am so sorry this happened to you! Are you feeling alright now? I guess so or they probably wouldn't let you come home but boy, I'll bet this hasn't been fun. Usually having metal removed is just a nothing deal compared to the procedure to fix it all in place! Whew! Sure glad you got in and got treated for this and nothing worse happened. At least it's all behind you now. I'll bet you're glad and glad to be home or on your way there soon! Let us know how you are doing when you can.

I want to let you who have followed my post that I will be seen by by Orthopedic doctor this afternoon. First, I am going to the hospital to have blood work done and then off to the ortho. Hoping for a good report. Will let you all know when I get back.xoxo

Will be watching for the update. Hope it all goes well

Ok, I am now able to put half my weight on my leg but I have lot of swelling by the incision and that is the pocket where the hematoma is. He can't put a needle in to drain it because it is too thick like jelly. Hoping the body will reabsorb it. Final thing is they would have to go in and remove it surgically. I am really hoping it doesn't come to that. The staples can't come out because he is afraid it will open from swelling and have an appointment to see him next week.
