Silent Assassin, still to be named.

1 minute read time.

So, we trot along for our CT scan, and by the time we get home are told go to your local hospital, you have a clot in your leg! No signs, no symptoms, perfectly healthy, working, usable legs for the first time since all the swollen leg troubles back at cycle 2.

*wonders how long the sneaky fecker has been sitting there* 

Now we have a new thing to attack.
Pointy stick, jaggy leg duty for my loved ones for 6 month (cos this superhero cant hold a needle - can kick cancers ass just dont ask her to stab her own body with stingy horrid needles with even worse stingy sore medicine in it!)

nuuu-uuuuhhhh!! *shakes head furiously*

So, now we are seeking a name for this stealthy ninja who creeped in and set up home in our artery! Unlike Gretchin, Raglan and the gang, this one can get nuked and dispersed and wont be here forever and ever so the name we chose for this one will be more hateful, vile and something to target and dispise. Still searching for inspiration. Took months to name the rest of the lodgers, so might take a while. A friend suggested 'Vlad' however i think thats more suitable for the leader of all the troops heading up the attack on this, our newest, lodger. Entirely too cool a name for it anyway. I think however it is a male name i seek. 

Last time round it was Tale of the Body Thief - Anne Rice, and watching all the Heroes episodes on netflix that provided the names. Unsure where to seek inspiration for this one. Im sure it will come.

Until its been assigned a name it shall remain the sneaky little stealth ninja.

 *welcome to the party*

    Wasn't there a film about men being shrunk to go in a miniature submarine which was injected into a vein and went to nuke a man's clogged artery? It wasn't good film anyway so it's sure to appear on daytime TV sometime.

    How about Clarence Clot? Masculine but not too butch and you're going to nuke it big time anyway. (Apologies to all the Clarences out there!)

    I'm sorry you are going through this ordeal by pinpricks; I'm sure the Chinese invented this, but without the nasty stingy medicine.

    Hugest of hugs, but not too close in case I get stuck by mistake,

    Cosy cwtches,

    Hello, Isis. Not a big fan of needles myself (unless for sewing) so sympathise with your plight. That clot doesn't stand a chance! 6 months of injections sounds hideous. Big hugs to you x x x

    Trouble with names is that invariably someone knows someone of that name.. so leaving it up to you.

    Glad you have plenty of people around you willing to stab you with needles ;)

    biggest hug (but not too squeezy so as to move clot hehe)

    and here's to clot busting :)

    Big hugs

    Morning...oh no wait, laptop says we are 4mins into the afternoon now, so afternoon all! 

    Oooh i may have to go watch that film and see if there are any names that pop up and inspire me.

    To  be honest, the week it happened i was a very, very angry girl, and had so much venom and hate for the thing, so decided it needed a vile, hateful name, but now im a couple of weeks in and getting so much help and support from my superhero sister and thundercat, im dealing with it a lot better - still cant look at the needle or anything, but still, i think its progress!!  

    Im currently sitting waiting on pointy stick stabby leg duty to happen after sis finishes work in the next hour - eeeeeeeeeeeeeshk!!

    So we might not end up with a truly awful vile name, it might be something less epic. For now the stealth ninja label kinda does the trick. 

    When i get stabbed by the horrible pointy stick i imagine the horrid stingy medicine being stingy as its full of weapons that go whizzing around my veins building up speed until they come crashing into clot! *huge clot busting explosion*

    Its easier said than done on days where we dont hit muscle and its only half as sore mind you, but makes things a little more fun, little less serious and better to deal with dont it?!

    Anyhew, i shall keep you updated if i ever get a name for this one!

    Hugs all xxx
