Yesterday I woke up with a pain in my shoulder. It got worse as the day wore on and the catheter site started bleeding as well. I was worried that the catheter might be getting infected so I went to the ER about 10 PM. They did some x-rays and ultrasounds and ruled out an infection. They said that it's likely to be a torn muscle or some muscle injury. We're all mystified how it happened, though. They ended up giving me some morphine and sending me home - which was just what I needed. So I'm eating vicodin nowadays.
I had another appointment at the clinic today. I got some fluids and some platelets and that should stop the weeping around my catheter. I'm still very neutropenic so I'm staying in and taking it easy.
