well long story short, the tissue expander I had taken out due to bacteria that I got from the operating room, was replaced on friday the 13th, along with the left one that was nicked and leaking when doctor tries to withdrawal fluid. Yay. So..

Both are replaced, got 4 drains in for good measure and it seemed to be going ok. Then my arm swelled, and started to hurt. Now i got 2 blood clots one superficial and one deep in the large vein of my bicep. Oh, and for good measure, I showered when I got home.from the er and one of my drain sites is red, oozed a tiny bit on the bandage and irritated and smarts when it touched anything I'm on an antibiotic.. any ideas what is up.with that? I am at my wits end. 8 months and not one damned day without some kind of pain or feeling yucky. Sorry for being crabby. I JUST WANT A BREAK. My boobs are trying to kill me, but my blood vessels tried to do it first .

Thanks for letting me rant.
