Tired and wobbly

They let me home yesterday but there were some complications. They tried to remove my Hickman line. The problem was that my platelet count was quite low. So they gave me two bags of platelets and then began hacking away at my chest for 45 minutes. But I kept bleeding too much. Also the line, having been in for 4 months was well and truly lodged. The doc gave up and sent me home. Today I went back for two more bags of platelets and then the attack began again. It took almost 2 hours to get the line out and it was a thoroughly traumatic experience. At times extremely painful. I have 3 stitches and the area is very sore. In the words of the doctor 'that was 100% more difficult than I expected'. At least it is over with but I got quite upset at all the pain I've had to go through, and it's not over. I have weeks of more blood tests and potentially bags of blood and platelets all requiring more difficult arm stabbings in my already wrecked veins. I'm sure once I get some sleep and a few days have passed I'll feel better.
