In hospital

Went to the hospital emergency room yesterday afternoon. I had been having light headed spells and a sore right leg which it (and the foot) started to swell.  Well, they found a  blood clot beneath my knee. I had the option of outpatient treatment but the lightheadedness had me anxious. Today they did a CAT scan. They found clots in my lungs which is why they think I was feeling light headed. Wish me well.

  • You are the most important most vital test case for the use of Glitch in hospitals.

     It should come standard.   Glitch will heal your recovery and prevent boredom
    Do you have to use a bed pan? ICK!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Get well soon. Being sick sucks, but being sick during Glitch doubly so :( Enjoy some "purple" for me while you are there.

  • Well, the leg and foot swelling appears to be gone, but I get light headed and dizzy walking short distances as I just did with my mom. Just walked around the hospital some (indoors).

  • Fokian, update? Are you well? We're thinking of you.
    Posted 17 months ago by Spellbound Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Should be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. I will still be on blood thinners for about six months. After which they MIGHT figure out what caused it (officially). I'll have to watch out for bruises and cuts even while shaving because I won't be able to heal easily.

  • That's good news though, getting out and going home. It will all work out. Thanks for the update.

  • Praying for you Fokian! Get well, feel well, be well!

  • Fokian I hope your clots aren't from sitting too long playing Glitch, that would be horrible!  In all seriousness, I do wish you well.  I know we do not know our fellow Glitches personally but when you play long enough or post to each other's posts long enough you get a feeling like they are a long lost friend or family member.  Well wishes being sent your way!

  • Thank you all. I just had a doctor say they want to keep me another day. Apparently the drugs are working TOO well. I'm overly sensitive to the main one (which actually is a good sign that I don't have a "thick blood" problem). They want to stabilize a certain blood ratio number and find the right dosage for me before they let me go. A nurse checking my breathing reported definitely hearing the problems with my lungs. Another night here at least. Damn.

  • Beware of Vampires at least while you are on blood thinners.
    Take care of yourself and get better soon.

  • Well wishes and warm thoughts sent your way should work just the same.

    Hope to hear you're doing well again soon. :)

  • At least you won't miss out any testing now ;) and it seems you got internetz!

    (Although that doesn't do much good if you're not feeling well enough to do anything/watching a screen).
