Hi

[luco]

Didn't want to post this till after Christmas...well, actually, I didn't want to post this till I was home, but I have no idea when that will be.

I'm in the hospital. Have been since last Thursday. There was more to my fall then we first thought.

Tuesday: fall happened
Wednesday: I'm sore and just slightly groggy
Thursday: Can't walk straight, can't think properly and can barely stay awake for 20 minutes at a time.

Mom came home from work, rushed me to hospital, nurse there had me priority and then rushed me in. Had a CT scan and they found a blood clot in my neck.

...I nearly died.

Spent Christmas here. Am finally unhooked from the two IVs, but I'm getting injections in my stomach. The blood thinners they have me on seem to be working, but I'm still getting massive pain in my head and have to be on Tylenol 3s all day. Also, yesterday had a sliht relapse where my brain wasn't working properly. They've done an MRI ((which was not fun)) and I'm not in the trauma ward so I guess it's just a waiting game.

Mom is a mess. And Lee is not much better.

To be honest I'm still scared. I refuse to look up anything on blood clots because going through it was terrifying enough...but yeah. I just couldn't stay silent anymore. I can't do much of anything besides a bit of reading and some sketching when my arm doesn't hurt too bad and my head clears up.

But I can honestly say this was the worst Christmas ever. I feel horrible for my family...

Anyways, now you know why I've been silent and I don't know when I'll get home. If anyone wants to call here, you can. I just can't promise I'll always be uhh...well aware is the best word I guess. The number is 705-739-5666 ext. 33661 My family visits between 3-8 but other then that, I'm just sitting in bed trying to brush up on my sketching.

...

I've been trying to be brave, but I just want to cry. I keep remembering watching mommy fall apart and realizing that she almost lost me. A few more hours and that could have been it.

All because of a stupid fall. I'm so glad I mentioned the bruising on my neck. That strangling feeling was real, only it was happening from the inside.

Mom was the one who said I should tell people, that you'd want to know, but I didn't want to ruin anyone else's Christmas. Although the staff did their best and the daughter of the lady next to me brought me a present so that I had something to open Christmas morning.

Still, I want to go home.

I'm glad you're alive, and those words seem so inadequate, but thank the gods you did get help in time. I hope you get better soon, and that things do not worsen. If there's anything at all I can do for you, my sweet, you've only to say.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

*all of the hugs*

I'm very, very glad you got help in time. *hugs more* Is there anything I can do to help, at all? Anything I could write for you to help pass the time?

[white_aster]

Oh man, hon, I'm glad you're ok. Best Christmas present ever: 1 Luco!

I'm sure that everything will be fine, and you DIDN'T ruin Christmas. Seriously, random blood clot is not your fault! :snuggles:

Holy shit, I'm glad you're alive!

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you caught it in time, and I'm so sorry you had to spend Christmas that way. An LJ comment can only express so much, but I'll be thinking of you, and hope that you'll be ready to be discharged soon. All my love. ♥

Jesus. Well I'm glad they got to you in time. It's scary, but things *have* turned out. Try to focus on that.

*hugs gently* My poor Luco. I'm so glad they caught things in time, and I hope you are well enough to go home soon.

Babe, I'm so sorry that happened to you and I hope you get better soon. :(

[fire-lord-azula.livejournal.com]

Goodness!  I'm glad you're alive.  Please don't feel guilty for letting everyone know what's been happening.  The most important thing is that you're here.

I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best.

My icon really doesn't effectively show my reaction to reading this, but it'll have to do.

I'm so glad you're okay Luco; it's scary how the smallest random things can bring about the biggest problems. D:

My mom had issues with blood clots after a surgery in the spring, they are scary to think about. But the doctors have you on good blood thinners and, and it sounds like they're keeping a close eye on you, so it sounds like they're doing everything right atm. You have to trust them in that.

Sending all my good karma your way, and hoping you have a speedy recovery. <3

*huuggs* Hon, I... I don't have any words to share that can measure up to how much I wish you didn't have to go through all this and how much I'm thinking of you. Thank you for letting us know and I hope that you are on the road to recovery. Best hopes for you and your family.

*hugs* I never know what to say to things like this, but I'm glad you got to the right hospital with the right staff when you did and I'm sure everything will be fine. Take care.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

That was nice of your neighbor's family, but I hate that you were in that position at all. Keep LJ updated on your condition!

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

Omg, I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, but I'm very glad that you're going to be okay!

I hope you can get home soon!

Ah! D: Oh my gosh...! That's scary, so scary! ;__; I'm so glad you got help in time! So glad you're alive!

How sweet it was, of the daughter to bring you a present...

Take care of yourself, I wish you well, and hope that you get better and can go home really soon!

Oh my goodness that must have been horribly terrifying for everyone! I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through, but rest up and I hope your are fully recovered soon. It sounds like you are in good hands. <3
