Won't Get Much Done Today

[big rockpile]

My Bad Leg is swollen half way up. My wife thinks it is Gout but this is different. They wanted to Amputate it 30 years ago.

Anyway I can hardly walk and going to Urgent Care.

Well it isn't Gout and actually they don't know what it is. Their treating it as a Skin Infection which it isn't.

My Limpnode is swollen and they found two Blood Clots that are old.

There's someone else on the forums who had blood clots, @Oliver Buckle - I wonder if he might be able to throw some light on your problem.
Anyway, I wish you well. What did they tell you about the blood clots?

 

[big rockpile]

That's it they act like normal. My regular Doctor says I could drop over any time and it scares him.

 

[Oliver Buckle]

Did they do an INR test? It is one of those finger prick tests and shows how quickly the blood clots. Based on that they give me warfarin to stop me getting more clots. That also means I bruise easily, and I must go to A&E for a scan if I bang my head in case of internal bleeding.
It does sound different though.

Yes they drawed blood. Got to have it done Monday again.

They took me off and I immediately developed Blood Clots so I'm on it rest of my life.

I'm taking Hormone Shots and I got a medication that is to help with Hot Flashes. I'm thinking this is giving me problems.

OUCH !! I had a bee sting there once, looked like a Neanderthal for a day before it sank and I had black eyes.

 

[big rockpile]

Well it seems to be getting worse.

From what I was told when it is that colour when it is down, but goes pale when it is raised it is an indication of arterial clots.
How's the head? Bit better feeling I hope, even if it still looks awful.

 

[big rockpile]

My Doctor will have a fit because I'm in danger of dying.

I thought everyone was.

[Oliver Buckle]

More a dead certainty than a danger, pun intendead

 

[big rockpile]

I tried to die about 8 years ago but the Doctor kept talking to me when I quit.

Funny Insurance was up there to throw me out and I tried dying then. Maybe we better wait.

My grandfather had that his leg swelled up big as a watermelon. They gave him medicine he got better. Go to a different doctor.

 

[big rockpile]

Well they put me in the Hospital.

Couldn't get a shoe on and have blisters on my foot.
