Today I’m not so groggy from the procedure. Unfortunately, I am afraid that it was unsuccessful. My right hand is cool to the touch, and my pulse is weak. I was told that I would have a decreased blood flow to my hand, so I’m not sure if these signs are alarming or if they are what is to be expected. I’m trying to remain hopeful, but in my gut I feel like this is a bad sign. I’m not telling my parents, for it will just give them something else to worry about. Hopefully I’ll be wrong, and it will work just fine.
