Well, I've been in hospital...again! How did it happen this time? Well, over the weekend I experienced a sharp, shooting pain in my left leg. I immediately panicked, thinking I had another DVT (Those who know what I've been through this year will know all about that) So I went to the doctor, who in turn and also concerned, told me to get to the hospital for scans as quick as I could. He did the referrals and all that straight away. 

By this stage my blood pressure was through the roof, and I know, I shouldn't have driven (more on that in a minute) When I got to the hospital I was left to wait for nearly 2 hours, all the while my fears became so consuming that my ears began to ring. By this stage I knew without the nurse re-doing my blood pressure that it was higher...much much higher. I was stressed.

So, when I finally got into the scan room, the dude doing it reported that I didn't have a clot! Thank GOD! But he did say my Baker's Cyst (at the back of my knee) had ruptured and that was probably the cause for the pain. So yeah, another state of emergency for me, but one that thankfully didn't end with me having another DVT.

Now, as I left the hospital, ready to go home and still trying to calm down, I backed the car into a pole (which was a gray pole against a gray concrete wall BTW) and now I have to get that fixed. My ears were still ringing and it took me a couple of days to calm down. So no car for a few days next week! Holy shit can anything go right this year? ARGHHHH. 

I so need some chocolate!
