A_New_Lily 39 Posted August 13, 2013 I had an allergic reaction to plasma. Broke out in hives. No surgery until tomorrow. My blood isn't clotting as well as it should. Which is why the plasma. I took no aspirin so they've narrowed it down to not enough Vitamin k, which is in veggies, which I can't have on the liquid diet. I had a panic attack while getting hives. I also was used as a damn pin cushion for 15 minutes until the specialist got there and nailed the blood draw in 1 shot. I cried, they really dug around in my hand. I just got home, then up at 5 am to be back at the hospital by 7. Joy. This is my first hospital stay ever. And it was horrible. I'm afraid to go back in the morning.

I feel your pain. I went in for surgery oringinally on Nov. 6 (I was also getting my gall bladder out) I woke to a tube in my throat, hands tied down and no sleeve. UGH. I had a reaction to anesthesia and my heart rate shot up, they had to stop half way through. I went back the next month. Not a single problem since. You'll do fine. I'm glad for you that it was not something more and they know the issues now. Best of luck to you tomorrow!! 1 Ballermom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
