Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. I am taking classes this summer and I am finishing up with my last one. I have 2 more classes to take and then hopefully i will be able to transfer to MSU without any other problems. Although, if that happens I've decided to find some regular 9 to 5 job, save up some money and travel a little.

I get slight discomfort below my clavicle. I also get a pinching feeling in my armpit (as well as other arm). The veins in the palm of my hand become prominent and a couple feel engorged. When I wake up in the morning my face feels swollen...don't know if this has anything to do with the clot. -

In early June I came home from my son's baseball game and notice my left arm looked swollen. It was turning red and becoming more uncomfortable. Being in the medical field I knew it wasn't good so my husband took me to the ER.
I had a venous ultrasound that showed 100% occlusion. I was given Lovenox and Coumadin and told to make an appointment with my Doctor.
My doc referred me to...1 Recommendation -

My goal, keeping my LPN license
Thursday, July 22, 2010
I have met my goal to keep my LPN license, for another 2 yrs anyway. I am not able to work as an LPN currently due to health problems, but plan to keep up my continuing education credits. 12 credits in 2 yrs, and hope to pick up some hours as an LPN, just cannot do any lifting. Thinking about going for administrative nursing or health information career.1 Recommendation -

What I feared most could complicate my life after my right leg was amputated was that something might happen to the left leg, and it did. Back in January, I fell face first into a big foam couch cushion. Knowing I was going to, I did as they'd told me in Physical Therapy at the hospital and tried to get my crutches away from my body. The left one went fine, bu...

Who knew an ultrasound would do the trick? Saw my doctor yesterday for a routine "Well Woman" exam and complained about my right leg. It had been sore and stiff for the past month or so, especially tight and sore after sitting. She sent me to have an ultrasound just because of the past dvt and my flying around the globe a few times in past two weeks. No clots were found - ...1 Comment -

Another day of therapy under my belt. More issues with my self-worth and dealing with myself as damaged goods from my incest. Told by my therapist I am NOT my abuse and that I seem to wear my abuse as a badge which attracts people who want to "fix" or "save"me. Who am I? What do I need to do or want to do to create the person that I really am??? It's very difficult to become what I do not know th...1 Recommendation1 Comment

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Information
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It commonly affects the leg veins, such as the femoral vein or the popliteal vein or the deep veins of the pelvis. Occasionally the veins of the arm are affected (known as Paget-Schrötter disease). Thrombophlebitis is the more general class of pathologies of this kind.
