Veins Update - Courtney 2 weeks old tonight

Here is the bruise remaining from my IV vein blowout

OK, and here is an updated shot of my veins this morning.
I have a few more days of antibiotics. I think an doctors appointment will be in order for Monday. Unless it just goes away. To me it looks like it is here to stay.

Thrombophlebitis in my right leg
and below, and extreme close up!!! Here is my problem area. Well, the biggest one to date. I have other problem areas but I will focus tonight on the veins ;D

You can see where my doctor circled the Thrombophlebitis. Now, the swelling is moving upward where you can see a bit of red. I will have to get a photo of it.



See why I am making friends with a vascular surgeon?! He will be my best friend next year sometime. And, I bet he makes a lot of money off of my legs. One day I will take a photo of the other veins. You ain't seen nothing yet!!



And, in the title I mentioned veins 3 times. The other problems would be with external hemorrhoids. I will spare you a photo lol! I am on some good ointment from my doc! It is helping a bit more. Courtney will be 2 weeks old on Friday, but the 'roids surfaced a few weeks before she was born due to the pressure. My guess is that they will go down, but not completely away. Another joy of pregnancy that many do not talk about. I may have to have some work done down there.

And, then of course is the vein the nurse blew out trying to give me an IV. The bruise is still there, and I took a photo of it. It is still in my camera.

Yup, veins and me. And to think when I was growing up that I could not stand veins. And now I am the queen of veins.
