So it seems that in addition to driving, handling heavy
machinery and shopping… stovetops and skillets should also be avoided when
under the influence of sedation.
I had a major overhaul to my fistula today – 2 accessory
vessels coiled, 4 angioplasties, 3 insertion sites, 2 slipknots and one stitch
(all terms I’m sure I heard them use…while I was sedated)…. And know I’m left with two miniature slinkies
in my left arm (I wonder if I’ll set off the metal detectors), a newly
re-jiggered fistula, two burnt fingers
and a throbbing arm. ‘Where’ you may
ask, did my burns come from? In a
semi-lucid state, while using my fingers as a grilled cheese flipper, I may
have inadvertently grasped the side of the skillet. On the bright side, it took my mind off my
throbbing arm for a while & its super handy, when the ice pack on my arm
gets to frigid I just slide it down to my fingers – win. winJ
I know I’ve been ‘radio-silent’ for a few weeks & I want
to remedy that soon. I’ll just end
tonight by saying I’m okay and I appreciate the outpouring of love and prayers –
I treasure the blessings of my family and friends. Thanks for all the support –
I’ll have more to write when I can fully account for what I’m saying;) With all
my love, Vanessa
Let all that I am praise the Lord, with my whole heart I
will praise His holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord. May I never
forget the good things he does for me! Psalm 103:1-2
