Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I'd appreciate some prayers & good thoughts this way. I had to take my mom to the E.R. tonight with pain in her leg. My mom is very stoic; doesn't believe in complaining. So I know when she complains, it really hurts. I was concerned about DVT--deep vein thrombosis. They couldn't do an ultrasound because of the late hour, but did a blood test called a D-dimer, which was negative. That made it less likely she has a clot, but still possible, so we're getting the ultrasound Sunday at 9am. She really can't bear any weight on it. My daughter Ginny has been very helpful & (my 4yo grandson) is spending the night & has been really sweet. So I'll let y'all know something tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 , you are a sweetheart. Her primary care doc is pretty good; she saw Mom today & decided it was probably a muscle strain or severe cramp. She had her blood potassium level checked, no results yet. She says she's better, but she's still not putting weight on that leg. We'll keep watching, I guess.

Hope when she sees her regular doc he/she can run some other tests and see what the real problem is. I'll keep praying for your mom for this. hugs to both of you S.Rose wrote: Good news. We just got home from the hospital & she doesn't have a blood clot. Still don't know what's causing the pain, but at least she won't have to take blood thinners. Thanks for thinking of us. Now as soon as I finish my email, I'm back to bed!
