Can I get a side of 4 stitches please?!

May 25-26, 2011
It was a long day scheduled for appts.  I had a CT scan of my abdomen to see if the disease had spread.  I don't do so well with CT scans.  I vomit from the iodine and now this time I had to drink that Barium crap. Oh, it's making me gag just thinking about it! Ugh!!!  After that, I had to see Dr. D to assess the wounds from surgery.  Then spoke to the social worker and then had a dentist appointment.  I started my day at 8 am at NW and it is now 2:30pm.  I had maybe a sip of water and a few bites of a sandwich.  I was so tired I went to bed.  I slept from 4 pm to 7 am the next day! Not a good idea.  I woke up, went to the bathroom, walked out.  The next thing I remember is waking up on my dining room floor with blood in my hands.  I blacked out, fell and busted my chin on the hardwood floors.  I actually dented a woodplank and cracked it.  I was lying there in my back and luckily Amy was home.  I called for her and she came to the rescue.  Apparently I had a 5 minute conversation with her and I did not remember any of it. Ha.  I had my lung function test and echo scheduled that day but canceled the lung test and made it to the echo for that afternoon.  On my way to the hospital,  I stopped at Dr. B's office to get my stitches.  She ordered at CT scan of my head because I had signs of a concussion. She also wanted to make sure I didn't fracture anything.  I got to Northwestern, had the CT of my head (no bleeder and no fractures-I'm so lucky!) and then had my echo.  Minos was flirting with the echo technician...he would!  I then went home and got ready for my next test for the next day.  The dreaded bone marrow biopsy!  AHHHHH!
