Two of my heroes

Today was a medical day. I had liquid nitrogen sprayed on my arm and toes, and an ultrasound on my leg. My leg isn't pregnant and my toes are froze.

  1. Ugh, hope you are ok. Nothing too serious?

    Oh, and from one chemist to another, there is nothing as cool as liquid nitrogen. In both senses of the word. I love that stuff. ;)

  2. The ultrasound was negative (which is good), although it shows some "chronic" damage from the DVT's.

    The liquid nitogen was for freezing a triad of calluses and warty things off my extremities. i had heard of "freezing" before; i just never realized that they used liquid nitrogen to do it. next time, i'm stealing his cool little liquid-N2 spray-bottle.

  3. Hee hee. If you steal it, let me know so I can come play too! :)

    Glad the u/s came back good, and I hope they can treat the DVT's without too much trouble.

  4. the DVT's are gone, but there is some permanent ("chronic" apparently is a euphemism) scarring to the vein itself. in a nutshell; i'm healed, but the leg won't feel the same anymore.
