Had my Hospital visit today, for an updated x-ray to see what the joint is doing. And to ask some questions, like is that really a staple left behind inside my scar? Why is the clucking so loud the whole supermarket can hear it? Will this last forever or will i still need a Total Hip Replacement?? And the answer for the staple is YES it is there, but it's not hurting me so they will remove it...

The Clot Cause (or so I'd like to call it)
Sunday, February 7, 2010 |
As some may know, I'm intersted in starting a website and/or quarterly magazine to get the word out about younger women falling prey to PE's and DVT's. I've started a thread in both PE and DVT support group sites called "Women under 40." I've been feeling the weight of this matter on my heart, and I am hopeful that young women on dailystrength will rise up against th...1 Recommendation

Not sure if this morning's wicked bloody nose was from something I ate or drank, but boy did I pay for some mis-step. Bloody nose lasted about 40 minutes and then stopped for 5 and then started again for 10 until I finally laid down and held an ice-pack to my nose. So, I know I was advised bloody noses could happen, but really??? A friend suggested I get PT/INR done this week i...1 Comment -

Discovery of Sigvaris stockings
Friday, January 22, 2010
Because we're looking to sell them through our website, I was given a free sample of a pair of Sigvaris stockings. Oh My God, why have a been wearing the Scholl ones for so long without even questioning how bad they were?! These new ones actually STAY UP! They dont bunch around my knees and ankles, cutting off my circulation, and I can finally wear skirts and dresses! I am sick of permanently... -

So, I finally got to see a pain management specialist, and thank goodness, I just loved him. He listened carefully to everything I said and understood everything as well. He gave me some pain medication (although it is not that great but I can't take a lot of stuff because I am on a blood thinner) and Soma to help me sleep. That is the good news.
The bad news is that he is pr...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.
