CT Scan and Blood Work

Today was a day of sitting and waiting.  Bill had to be at the hospital at 9:50 in order to drink the contrast for the CT scan scheduled for 11:20.  Today's "delicious" liquid was a different flavor - blueberry!  He should have know that it wasn't as good as it smelled when they handed him 2 suckers for when he finished drinking!  CT scan done, downstairs for lunch in the cafeteria, then drove across the street to sit and wait in the doctor's office before his 1:15 appointment for blood work.  We received the results immediately and were glad to see that his platelets came up considerably and everything else looked good, too.  He was very tired today, had 3 nose bleeds and not the least bit crabby. 

Three months ago today, June 23, was the beginning of this "adventure".  Bill found the blood clot in his arm and after the doppler was sent to the hospital because it was a DVT (deep vein thrombosis).  It's been a very long and scary 3 months, but God has been ever faithful in being with us each step of the way. 

Since yesterday's post about Bill's being crabby, I have to put on here that I was the one that was a tad bit crabby today.  Too much sitting, a couple hours spent at my mom's, pain in my shoulders, hips, back and knee.  I'm a little down tonight, too.  Not sure how to process some thoughts right now.  I know that tomorrow will be better.  Pleasant dreams, everyone!
