Just heard those words from my vascular surgeon regarding the severe blood clots in my left leg. It seems like the DVT was a horrible thing just waiting to happen. …but for now I’m happy to share some good news — that the blood thinner is working! I’ll get another scan in three months and a study of the damage to the veins then too.
The swelling and pain in my left leg is the hardest thing to handle but knowing that there is improvement in the deep vein thrombosis makes it so much easier to deal with.
The physical and occupational therapy are going great. The progress is absolutely amazing. I feel like I am training for an Olympic event when really — all that I am doing is just trying to get function back to normal!
I really love when people tell me that by looking at me you would never guess that I had a stroke.
I continue to apologize for not returning calls or emails as all my energy is still on therapy, doctors and foremost — my family.
Although — please please keep the emails coming — they bring a smile to my face and keep me motivated.
