Once again we spent a weekend night in the lovely emergency room at the U of M campus. I had a pretty severe headache on Thursday night that even made me nauseous. I ended up calling my transplant coordinator because the pain was so bad. She told me that if it got worse, I was to head to the hospital. They worry about brain bleeds when on blood thinners.
The headache subsided a little but was still lingering on Friday. Since it had lasted for such a long period, my doctors wanted me to head to the E.R. After eight hours of laying there and trying various medications, I only received a little relief. Today my headache finally disappeared. I also started to get a sore throat yesterday. Every time I’ve eaten in the last couple of days, the glands in my throat have swollen up like balloons. It’s the strangest thing.
I am pleased I have a routine checkup tomorrow to discuss all my issues. It never ends with this girl 🙂
