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.

  • LOL. Yep. Such is the good life. I really feel pretty good. My leg still seems sore on occasion, and I still have my light headed moments, but I'm in a small, friendly hospital not too far from home. Ooh! And my roommate with all the pain is supposed be leaving tonight. He's a nice enough guy, but I still would like the room to myself again. :D

  • Don't chase the nurses too much, got to watch out for your leg!
    And empty hospitalrooms are good, because it means there's no one who needs the bed :) (and you'll get a good sleep too)

  • Just read all this Fokian, sorry to hear about the clots and so glad the doctors caught it and are treating it. Blood's funny stuff, try and keep it inside you and coursing around. 
    I pinched my glitch's Orb so I'll be trying out a bit of radiation for you. Get well soon now!

  • One of the Tiny Speck staff last test (while I was in the hospital) talked to me in private about this very issue. Was concerned about leg swellings being experienced at the computer too. I said "See a doctor!"

  • Hi! Fokian,

    I'm wishing you the best of luck with this. I had a blood clot two years ago due to a meniscus tear that I kept putting off getting operated on. I was fortunate enough that it never reached my lungs. I was on blood thinners for a while but now take aspirin every day. Just want to let you know you are in my thoughts every day.

  • Thanks for the continuing words of support.

  • Madam Fictiongal do you take aspirin everyday due to need? I heard that people who take aspirin everyday can develop Crohns disease over time, though Im not sure if that is true. My friend who has Crohns disease told me her doctor told her.
