Re:Hospital Stay Larry

Hi Larry,

Glad to hear they found the DVT in time. Those can be deadly if they

get to your lungs. They probably told you that already. That may

have been why your B/P was irratic. Giving meds in a stomach doesn't

sound too fun. Good luck with that. Did they warm you about blood

thinners? They can make you bleed easier if cut. Be careful.

Take care.

I had a DVT in my left leg...a complication from my broken foot.

Luckily the doc caught it and now I am on blood thinners for the

next 9 months. It no fun...my whole left leg swelled up to almost

twice its normal size...and yes...it was very painful. I get to

give myself shots in the stomach until Saturday...and then I am on

the blood thinner until June or so of next year. They also gave me

something to stabilize my BP...as it wasn't high...it was just

irratic. One hour it was high...then next two it was fine. So he

decidede to put me on a mild BP medicine to stabilize it...at least

thats what he said.

Hi Larry:

I was sorry to read about your recent hospitalization,

but glad that they were able to bring the DVT under

control - how scary for you. Be careful while you are

on those blood thinners - even a small accident can

cause big problems with that. Take care -
