An Absent Minded Thought Of Something I Forgot

I failed to mention in an earlier blog that I had also had my gall bladder removed in early 2007.  This was right after my mom had passed away.  With that surgery, they had found that I actually had a blood disorder. It's called Factor 7 and my blood clots way faster than it should.  So when I went for the liver biopsy, they waited too long to get my blood to the testing center and they had to have another nurse retake my blood.  This woman didn't know what she was doing and had my arm turning black.  She said she couldn't find a vein and that I had to wait for a doctor to come back after lunch.  That was just an experience and a half.  Once the procedure eventually occurred, it was 2 pm and they didn't get enough of a sample of my liver.  They had to go back in a second time.  They numbed my body but I was awake.....it sounded like a plunger unclogging a toilet....it was an experience I'd rather not relive again.  My choice to eat as healthy as possible will make sure that it won't.
