Oh, what a morning!
Not a great sleep but 7am and up and about for little uns school.
Walking across the lounge and I feel a “pop” in my groin. Looks down and it’s swelling up like a tennis ball.
Oh Feck!!!
Babe, babe I think my wounds just burst.......”panic”
It’s getting bigger and bigger by the second.
( when they do the angiogram they go in through the femoral artery)
Mrs runs around trying to find hospital notes, meanwhile i’m Now lying still on the couch putting pressure on it. scary.
She Calls hospital number I was given, girls useless......no advice, wait until dr gets in....wtf!!!, calls ambulance 0710..... more pressure on area......still swelling.
Both now applying pressure......but feel ok.
0730, no ambulance......feel ok, swelling stabilised. Wheretf is it?
Mrs calls back hospital, speaks to a different girl who puts us through to a nurse, situation explained, many questions asked and over phone advice given.
Still feel ok, which is good sign.
Finally 0820 ambulance arrives!
Good guy. By this time I’ve long realised I’m not in trouble and the swelling has started to subside......surgeon called, situation explained, Vital signs all good-not a problem......lie down for 2 days and let artery heal.......this can happen.
Take it even easier....
I thought my number was up.
