I saw the doctor this morning for the clot in my leg.

She thinks things are going well and advised that this is going to take some time.

Turns out that the clot nearly occluded the vein and stopped blood flow.

The swelling is down further today, but my leg is still slightly feverish.

There is still a firm ridge where the clot runs.

She is going to set up an appointment with a Hematologist for some extensive tests since this developed without any injury to the area.

I am holding up OK.

Stay strong in your journey friends.

About the Author

I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
