Hey all! I'm home now!
So earlier today, one of my right ribs started to hurt, even though it was just my left side that got injured, so when I told my doctor, he was worried that I might have gotten a clot in my right lung, the same thing that I've been getting shots in the belly every day to avoid, so he scheduled a CT scan to find out. The nurse came in and put a new IV in my right arm, so that the people at the scanner could do something, and later I got wheeled down to the scanners. The IV was for some marking fluid to get into my lung so they could detect anything, and I was supposed to hold my breath at times to make sure the fluid got to the right place. when the results came back, it turned out that I didn't have a clot in my lung, but I did have some nodules in it. If I was a 40-year old smoker, that would have gotten them worried, but since I'm a 17- year old non-smoker, they think that it's just post traumatic. With those results they also got some things about my fractures: that my ribs are healing, and that ribs 2-12 are fractured in the back, and ribs 3, 5, and 7 are fractured elsewhere as well. I also found out that with the two fractures on my pelvis, I also fractured my sacrum, or my tailbone.
It's been good to talk to you guys!
Hey, Tim, it's good to be talked to by you; that shows real progress on this journey! Hope things are going well for you at home and I'll see you soon.
