2nd post of the day. After a procedure to stop bleeding from a ruptured spleen, it seems I have a tiny object left in the groin area where they entered for the procedure. Last week I had Thrombin injected as a pseudoaneurysm had formed around it. The doctors say my body will reabsorb this, but that seems like an odd course to take. Why would I want to leave this in? Are the doctors saying this because of the potential problems for the hospital?
