So the bad news...

 After feeling like a champ for the first week post op, my right calf started killing me Saturday night.  I limped through Sunday knowing I had an appt with my PS Monday afternoon.  She took one look at me, sent me for an ultrasound and it turns out I have not one but two blood clots in my leg.  We went back and forth on whether I should be admitted to the hospital but ultimately decided that because I have a friend who lives in my building who could give me the injections of blood thinners, I would go home.  The alternative was potentially sitting in the ER at the hospital for several hours and I just wanted to get the thinners on board.  I have an appt with a hematologist tomorrow to get this sorted out.  Hopefully I don't have a portion of the clot break off tonight.  Nightmare!  Goes to show you - if you have pain that's not normal for you call your DR!!!

 Thank goodness you found out and can do something about it. I am always worried about something like this. Take care .

Praying for you that the blood thinners do their job

Good God girl!  So glad you caught it in time.  Very good reminder to all of us that this is SURGERY with risks and not something to be taken lightly.

Thank God you caught it.  I'll be keeping a good thought for you.

Oh no 2 blood clots.  Yikes.  Hopefully the blood thinners will take care of that in no time.  Let me know how your doing.

OMG.  I'm so glad you listened to your body and went to the Dr.
Best wishes on the recovery...I hope it goes very easily for you.

Sending good vibes your way.

So sorry Dana to hear about the clots, and thank goodness you did listen to your body and seek medical attention right away. Dr. Agha started me on Heparin the day of surgery and my family continued to give me shots until I think the 7th day....I'll keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery from the clot issue....Hugs, Lynette

(((hugs))). Sooo glad it was caught early!

I am so sorry to hear this!  Good luck with those thinners.  I hope you will recover soon and without any further problems. 

You're right, any pain needs to be addressed ASAP.  I'm so glad they caught it now!
