Winter driving can be unpredictable. Don't leave home without these essential items in your car. ⬇️

• Cat litter or sand to help your tires gain traction if your vehicle gets stuck.

• A bright-colored cloth to signal for help.

• A flashlight with spare batteries to help you see and be seen at night.

I miss my port i had it for 10 1/2 yrs.. My baby is gone . That was my badge of honor. Sickle Cell Blogging Life ❤️🩸❤️ Having emergency surgery to take an infected port but to tell the patient you have a blood clot in your chest is life changing.
When my clot is gone I can get another port. I can only be stuck in one arm because I've had 2 lumpectomies done on one side, so I only have one arm to use for IV starts .. I miss my baby. Time is of the essence when it comes to a crisis.

At a cross roads and this emergency surgery has taught me a lot. You come in this world alone and you leave alone. I just had my port removed from my chest I've had it over 10+ yrs. During this stay they put a midline that was not working at first. I stood up after surgery and passed out on the floor due to chest pain.

When I woke up blood was everywhere on the floor and in the bed. No clue what happened but I was just rushed to CT since I passed out. They just moved me to the ICU.
They are currently trying to find me some blood (3) units and the hospital blood bank does not have a match. Carter Bloodcare and The American Red Cross are out of my match.
I thought I would have more time to heal and get better. I've never done a blood exchange and the nurse is not sure if I have enough to do it. If that's the case I just want to be home with my kids and the one or two folks that care about me. 🫂💕
