luckyluke 2 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Pretty good. Â Off on holiday for two weeks (London for a few days, Yorkshire Dales for mums 60th then Amalfi coast for a week). Great way to celebrate passing my final anaesthetics exams a couple of weeks ago - had been on revision lockdown for the best part of a year, hence my absence from these fine boards.

Dr Gloom 21588 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm feeling surprisingly chipper given the shit storm of a week that just was. Happy Friday y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4284 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 It's been a scary day for me. Â I've had a sore calf/back of the knee/back of the thigh for a week which I'd put down to a slight hamstring strain. Then I noticed the calf was quite big compared to my other leg and the soreness was ranging around to the front. Id also had some breathlessness so decided to go to the GPs this morning and she confirmed what the bastard internet had suggested - a possible clot - so she sent me off to the local hospital. Â Without anyone being obvious I got the impression it was serious as I was successivley jumped ahead of other people in the wait for a blood test, an ECG and a chest x-ray. Then they told me they didn't have a slot for an ultrasound of my leg until 4pm and it was okay if I wanted to go home which was a huge relief. Â I went back for the scan and it was confirmed I have a clot in my upper thigh (this causes blood to pool in the calf) but on the other hand they confirmed (probably a bit late) that my heart, lungs and blood were all perfectly fine. Upshot is I need to take Warfarin for 6 months (first few days via self-injection) and have frequent blood tests but otherwise it isn't world ending. Â I rang my sister before I went and was telling her I hoped it was similar to the last time I had a bit of a health scare in 93 when possible gallstones turned out to be nothing but the "fright" was a wake up call which resulted in me losing a shit load of weight and getting quite fit. Since then I've been up and down a couple of times and I'm currently at the wrong end of the scale (but not as bad as I was originally) so maybe another scare is what I need. Â I'd also mention I was treated brilliantly all day by all of the staff - brings it home what's at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 43270 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Aye that sounds frightening. Hope it sorts itself with the warfarin, and that you can then stop taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4284 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's pretty "routine" nowadays from what I could gather - they were certainly setup and familiar with the spiel. Â My blood should be at a good level of thinness in a couple of weeks and the rest of the time is just a precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
