I've been on daily fragmin injections to avoid DVT since my op. One of the side effects is easily bruising and they weren't lying! I have bruises appearing yesterday in places that happened before the op, like from the blood test in my arm. And the backs of both hands, which were fine for a week, have now turned purple. Plus my belly is going polka dot. I'm pretty attractive! The first few injections were fine, but now the sting like hell! Thankfully it's my last one today. Yet another pregnancy joy they never warn you about in advance!
What is DVT? I guess the walls of the veins were compromised already so blood leaked through the damaged area? Is fragmin a blood thinner?
Deep vein thrombosis. It's a risk if surgery, so I have blood thinner injections for ten days and compression stockings for six weeks. It's so glamorous!!
I remember the compression stockings from baby No.1. I wondered if you wore them again.2 -

I get it. I felt guilty when I stopped the two hours in the gym after two hours at the Barre after walking all over campus all day.
And you are welcome. I want you to succeed.1 -
It's 2am and the boob monster is attached and I'm sooooo bored!
Well done @SoulOfRusalka, every day is a little victory.
My little victory today is managing to lay on my side in bed. Hurrah for internal organs staying where they should!8 -

More than welcome! How did yesterday go?1 -
Had a super stressful day, worried about getting my French visa on time.
But 1400 calories and no purging. I think I might be a warlock.
I bought myself a stuffed dog and a candy bar for lunch because I have the emotional maturity of a really exhausted 6 year old.
I hope everyone else had a good day!3 -

Woo! Good work!
I would also like a stuffed dog and a candy bar for lunch, please.

Can I get a stuffed dragon and a candy bar? I need something to scare people away from my desk and my stuffed snowman and penguins aren't doing the job.4 -
You can always do like my sister did as a child and cut them up and sew the body parts back to the wrong ones to make frankensnowpenguins.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »SoulOfRusalka wrote: »Had a super stressful day, worried about getting my French visa on time.

I was unclear, the penguins aren't stuffed. Just the snowman. The penguins light up, except the batteries are dead. I could get a Bah, Humbug sign.1 -

I used to paint and accessorise Barbie dolls as a teenager. I had zombie Barbie, devil Barbie, vampire, evil mermaid, etc. Not sure what the original motivation was, other than I'm a weirdo, but I did eventually shoehorn them into my a-level (16-18 year old school exams) art project. I got an excellent grade for them too! Teenage me would have loved frankensnowpenguin.3 -
