We went to the vascular lab at Hackensack yesterday so they could image my neck and right arm to confirm or deny a blood clot. They confirmed the blood clot so there's another small bump in the road. I've been put on Lovenox, 80mg twice a day, injections administered in my lower abdomen by me at home. I don't know what impact this will have on the transplant schedule but I do know that I have to get rid of the blood clot. I'm concerned about putting in a pic line while I'm on Lovenox, a blood thinner. I'll talk to the folks in Hackensack when they call my to schedule my pic insertion and schedule my hip MRI.
The schedule for the transplant will slip by one day and begin on Tuesday, the 14th. The pic will be inserted on Monday, the 13th. we'll have to discontinue Lovenox on Sunday night and restart it's use on Monday night.
I think 14 is a better number than 13! hope that that clot dissolves and PICC line insertion goes smoothly. Good vibes coming your way
