| Blood clot :(
Just come back from hospital AGAIN!! I have a hefty blood clot in my leg  Has anyone else had this?
my leg swelled/swolen (?) up and was very painful this morning and i thought i had knocked it then tonight it went right up and it started to go numb I rang the out of hours Dr and she told me to go straight to A&E i now have to inject myself with *stuff i cant remember the name of* until friday when i get the scan to see how big it is. If it doesn't have to be cut out i will be on pills for about six months with shit loads of blood tests!
Tis all down to the SPD they said as i have been so imobile Has this happened to anyone else? When she said blood clot i was terrified you here of random people dropping down dead because of blood clots i thought i might not see my lil ones again!
what a shitty night!!!  and now my boobs are full again as i missed jesse's feeds grrrr arrrgh  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  |  I haven't had a blood clot myself but I've always been really afraid of it happening. It must be so scary!!
Hope your leg is feeling better soon though. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Blood clots are no good. My mom has had these and they have gone to her lungs.
If the clot stays in your leg and doesn't go farther, then you will be ok!
I suppose they have you on blood thinners? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Just make sure you remember to take your injections.
I hope they've already done a scan, cause that's an awful long time to wait for a scan for a blood clot. I'm sure they did cause that's the only way they would know if it was one. x |

| Scan was clear on friday, I am having to go for another next friday just to make sure as my (whatever levels they look for were high). They have me on a load of antibiotics thinking it is an infection in the veins instead of clots. Still hurts and sick of hospital now! |
