Illness

I have to admit I don't get worked up over much when it comes to illness in my body, but after my scary pregnancy and delivery of my twins and the blood clot that followed, any bruising, bleeding or vein pain has me VERY nervous. Lately, when I play volleyball, I get these terrible bruises that no one else gets when we play. It's been making me nervous because I can see the vein bulge before it actually...burts? and turns into a bruise. My wonderful father in-law has been with me every step of this bizarre journey and with a few blood tests behind me, I now know that my blood is healthy and I'm not at risk for more blood clots at this time. Woo-hoo! So if you see me with strange and enormous bruises on my hands or arms, never fear, it's normal...at least for me.
