Bleeding

Chemo #4 Day 7

Pa took Ma to the emergency room this morning because she had vaginal bleeding. Her hemorrhoids have also been bleeding. Blood tests show a low platelet count, but they're holding off on giving her platelets till she really needs it.

More troublesome is the ultrasound. They found something in her vaginal canal. The hospital doesn't have a resident gynecologist, so someone has been called in to see Ma. The doctor didn't come today though.

In the meantime, Ma was admitted to the hospital. The hospital is full, and Ma has to share a room. Bummer.

Oh, and I found out today that Ma hasn't had a gynecological exam since she lived in Michigan. She left MI in 1982.
