Round 3

My friends husband is an er nurse at our trauma hospital.
He has been on vacation so I have been unable to seek advice from him.
I just got off the phone with him...and he advised me to come in and see him asap..first thing in the morning.
He will gather all my history from the 2 other hospitals...and make sure all is ok.
He mentioned the d dimer is elevated....more than likely there is a clot somewhere...
He said it can be dangerous as they can travel and get bigger...He couldn't understand why I hadn't been given an anticuagulant...(if thats how it's spelled).
He also wondered why I wasn't treated for the initial reason for going to the er Wed night.
My dr. was concerned about my belly being so badly distented..and that there may be some bleeding inside...that may be causing my pain.
He realised that the d dimer was def a red flag but...they should've followed up with ultrasound to determine the problem.
He said something is not right.
So looks like round 3 to the ER...but at least this time...
I am in great hands...and he will get to the bottom of this.
He also said my breathing and pain shouldn't be worse now than days after the surgery.
I am scared....but I am hoping all this can finally be sorted out.
I'll keep you all posted...Thanx so much for being here for me...It really means alot!
And if I don't post tommorow sometime...that means they kept me.
Love Jack

Thank you.
I am going...in the next hour.
I am not prego...
I really hope they checked and doubled checked that I am not....
Because all that I have been through..ie...nuclear med....I don't think it would sustain.
We have been ttc now since Sept...
I think it wasn't happening because of all these issues.
Thanx
