So lately I have noticed that I have had alot of bruising. In particular a huge one that takes up most of my calf on the left leg. There are several small ones all over my body that come and go. I have bruised before but not to this extent. I was debating on whether to wait till my next appointment or call the doctor. But more and more people starting noticing it and it seemed to have gotten bigger and more tender. So I went ahead and just called. They wanted me to come in right away to check it out.
I saw the registered nurse and she did say that she have never seen on that extent that I had it and it didn't look like it was a blood clot or anything serious. She suggest we run some blood tests to confirm and she wanted the doctor to come in and see it as well. He did and also didn't seem concerned but did order additional blood tests just to rule out anything that it possible could be.
I ended up giving about 6 tubes of blood. It didn't really affect me right away, but by the end of the day, I was so tired and could hardly think straight. I was supposed to go to boot camp, but decided to skip it and take a nap instead. Good thing I did, because I felt horrible the rest of the night. We went out to eat and I could barely make it through dinner before I had to go home and lay down. I just stayed in bed the rest of the night and snacked on some crackers since I couldn't eat dinner. I am feeling much much better today.
