thanks all... the AZYGOUS vein is the vein that drains blood from the spine and back area. it runs up the left side of the spine and empties into the SVC, or superior vena cava, just above the heart.. near as they can tell either by bending over in just the right way or some other movement, the tip of my catheter was lifted up past the junction and when i straightened out it went back down the wrong way into the wrong vein.
as for being bummed, yes i am.. for you see the 17th was my ten year anniversary of being on TPN. today the 21st is the tenth anniversary of my death. ok so they got me back after 20-30 minutes, but hey i was dead so i claim it! ;-). and i had my last ultra sound of my
clot in my jugular vein today.. and its still there even after having shots every freakin day for 6 months to dissolve it..
so yippee for me, and im getting over a sinus thing that has made me be blowin snot for 6-7 days, and people wonder why i hate the holidays..did i mention i was a mailman? yeah i had to deliver all those boxes everyone sent 3 days before xmas and complained when they did not get there on time. the whole season could be ruined by just one person. now sometimes that person is me.
oh and to top it all off, little F-head popped open last night and i got blood in my recliner and been soaking bandages all day.
