Long day! I have been feeling sick for a few weeks and it has gotten worse with time. I figured it would just go away but it didn't. I took a quick test (covid) a few days ago and then called my doctor. Was the told it had to be a PCR test instead otherwise I wasn't allowed at the doctors office. Booked time for that but the queue when Dan and I got there was just unbelievable! When it was our turn they closed.. So went the next day and got the test - was negative. Then yesterday morning I went and got my first Covid vaccination shot and after that I called my doctor to book a time the same day. Got there at 11 am and after talking, waiting, tests, waiting - my doctor told me he was gonna have me committed.. This is after two hours spent at his office.. He says he suspects a blood clot in my lung and that he can't let me leave the building till I am picked up to go straight to the hospital. I call Dan, who was at work - he picks me up and we go straight to the hospital. When we get there we are just told to sit and wait - not for how long nor does anyone tell us what is actually gonna happen. When a doctor finally gets to us she tells us that we have to be isolated in a room while they do a Covid test - just had one done but sure. Then they started testing me for finding the suspected blood clot. They had to suction my lung which was as uncomfortable as it sounds. Blood tests, urine test, CT scans.. And after many many hours waiting I am told I do have a blood clot in my lung. They gave me meds and sent me home - not my doctor has to figure out what caused it. I am overweight and I did drink very heavily for 6-7 years, so those would be logical factors. But yeah my doctor is gonna figure out why/how I got the clot and then we're gonna figure out a way to prevent it from happen again. When I was discharged in the middle of the night (I did not want to sleep there), we went home and slept a few hours till my sweet sister called and woke me up - Because today we are going to celebrate early Christmas as a family due to my grandmas cancer having spread. So despite the circumstances and all of us being exhausted and sad - we are gonna have a lovely day together as a family ♡
First pictures are from the doctors office. They just redecorated with plants and fishies - I am terrified of both.. Last pictures are from the hospital in Horsens, Denmark. They actually managed to find gluten-free and lactose free food for me - even gravy! So thankful to the people working there for taking good care of me and for being so positive and kind even to the wee hours of the night!
