Hi,

I hope you're feeling better now. Feom my experience, yes its totally normal to get diarrhoea. It's actually acommon side effect after a surgery. Even until now, after everything I've been through it's normal for me to have that. The needle for anti coagulation is very small, it usually leaves a dark bruise. When injecting, I normally pinch the fatty part of my belly and do it very quick. 
I understand the anxiety you feel while waiting but put in mind that you really need to rest and your body is recovering so rest and enough sleep Is a must. Atleast you're body is getting ready and stronger if follow up treatment is needed. It will be over soon don't worry. Hang in there. Sending strength to you.
