Having a Bad Night

Well a little bit ago I got a pain in my calf... so the red light went off saying "blod clot" in my brain. I called the nurses at the clinic first because I wanted their advice, and so I called the 800 number and they connected me with the Doctor. I apologized for bothering him and then explained what was going on. He was like if it gets worse go to the ER and then have them call me and that I probably wouldn't get a blood clot at this phase. I feel bad for bothering him, I'm not a worrier really, but I've heard all the blod clot horror stories. So now I feel dumb because I called the doctor for no reason and I'm still bored..... Dang I am being some kind of whiney tonight! Sorry....

I'm sure your Dr didn't mind and it's always better to be on the safe side of things instead of letting things go. Good luck and hang in there. Anita

hey, its better to be safe than sorry I always say. Dont feel bad about bothering him, thats why they get paid big $$$$$$. I'll send my 3 kids to you, I'm sure your boredom will QUICKLY go away..lmao Have a good one Brooke!

Awwww its ok your just makeing sure.It's better to be safe then sorry my used to tell me.I know what you mean about being board .Theres nothing on tonite..Where is our trouble maker anyways Jason P? We need him to get this board or or whatever it is he does.We need someone to tease or to tease us.....

Sweetie your life is worth a lot more than a brief phone call to the Doctor. So DO NOT give it a second thought!!!! I have my mp3 player loaded with music and I'm dancing around the house singing LOL my one son who is here right now isnt happy LOL Dont get yourself down your doing so good hanging in there. New year New life!!! You so Rock Brooke !!!! hang in their Kiddo!!! Debby

hehehe! you go girl!!! lol

Heyyyyy girl...dont you feel bad about calling him. I bet he would tell you he would have been upset if you didnt call. It IS better to be safe than sorry. Do you recall reading the story about the fella that just died in IL? he was in so much pain and they just gave him more meds to ease it? if they had red flagged the "MORE" pain, who knows what might have happened. I think anyone will tell you that if you feel something is not quite right then its better to ask about it then to say "well its probably nothing" and then regret it later. We are here to support you hon, just like you have been supporting us...so don't be sorry for posting your feelings ~hugs~ Konni

Brooke do not worry about calling him!! It is his job! Besides they are use to it and I really do not think they think twice about it! I am sure he would much rather you call with a possible "thing" than have the Er call with the real thing!! Hugs Shelli

Hey girlie! I just got home so I didn't see your post earlier. I'm glad that everything is ok. Just like the others have said - NEVER feel bad for calling your doc! Heck, I'd talk to Dr. V on a Saturday night even if there wasn't anything wrong with me !! I was out in St Louis with PC. We saw a movie with a few of his friends after going to California Pizza Kitchen and then talked for a while before I drove back here. I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself - I never used go out on the weekends! The past couple of months have been pretty darn cool though I must admit! Hope you have a great Sunday! Hugz

That you all for making me feel better... I think I was having some hormonal issues yesterday. Today I've decided I'm actually going to go out and do stuff rather than whining about being bored! I'm going to walk to the movie theatre (8 to 10 blocks) and catch Bridget Jones. Then I'm going to walk to the post office so I can get stamps to mail out all my thank you cards. You guys rule... thanks for being there for me . Love Brooke
