Good morning, @tml I’m away from my computer all day today, so I’ll going to be brief but will be back early this evening.
Because the possibility of a DVT is really bugging you and you have experience with those, I really urge to to start giving yourself the blood thinner. Watch the video again with a clear mind of, “I can do this!!” I had to give it to myself daily for many months. It’s easy peasy and almost impossible to mess up if you just watch the video.
Just find your navel, then on either side of it, grab a bunch of belly fat. I was super skrawny at the time and still managed to find a good grab. Right in the center of the squished part, put the little needle and give it a push. The needle is very thin gauge and not very long at all. It doesn’t hurt because you’re putting it in the pinched fatty tissue. It is normal to have slight bruising if you see that. So don’t panic. You’ve got this, gurl!! And that will be one stressor of the table! Keep up the compression socks too, especially if sitting for long periods. Take that med!! By doing so you’re being proactive. ☺️.

As far as the Mayo report and wondering how long you’ll be in remission. Stop worrying about what-ifs! Focus on the today, get through each day one at a time. It’s trite but true. Also, listen to your gut. I know your husband is your caregiver but if you need guidance from your doctor/team between appointments, don’t hesitate. This is you, this is your body and life. So again, be proactive. ☺️
Will you promise to give the blood thinner a try?
