Scary

So in the interest of being totally honest with my readers i feel i need to tell you about this little thing that has happened.  So i developed a thing called a seroma. Which they do warn you about in class however mine was nothing like i had imagined a seroma actually was.  Let me give you the definition of a seroma.
seroma  se·ro·ma (sĭ-rō'mə) 
n. 
 A mass or swelling caused by the localized accumulation of serum within 
a tissue or organ.
So you would think there would be something swollen somewhere that
 might be sore and the 
fluid would be maybe clearish well this isn't what i got.  Where they took my
port out apparently 
a lot of old blood collected there causing a seroma. So the fluid from the
 seroma and the old blood
finally built up and had to come out. So sunday night after the snow and home
with no other adults it
starts flowing out and i freaked out. the volume of stuff alone coming out was
 scary however
with that said color of the stuff coming out makes a big difference. Now first let me
say if you ever 
have stuff coming out of you and you don't know what it is call your doctor,
don't just assume your
fine and it can wait cause it might not be able to. The color of the stuff coming out was
 very dark red
like dark enough i didn't know it was old blood at first. So i called my best friend
 who also happens to
be my doctors nurse. Who calmed me down reassured me I was fine told me
what was happening
and i started to calm down however. I couldn't sleep that night scared but
i did feel better once i saw
the doctors the next day. SO I just wanted to share so anyone that might have
 this happen to them
will not be as shocked and scared as i was.

I hope everyone is doing well with there life changes.
As always feel free to comment, ask questions, and share my blog
Happy life changing everyone.
