GI update 3

My Sx post-op took a strange U-turn and I ended up back in urgent care + hospital for imaging on my arm. Superficial thrombophlebitis is a bitch but it doesn't generally come with complications. FTR, R distal lateral vein of the forearm has a clot in it due to the damage caused by the IV. Heat packing it =/>4x daily for at least 20 minutes and regular ibuprofen is the current treatment. If it doesn't improve, I get to talk to a hematologist.

The pain in my abdomen isn't as well controlled as I would like it to be. They tell me that's from the EDS complications. With everything super stretchy, it's harder to heal. #zebralife
