It has been since May 22 that I have been out of work. I had my surgery May 26 and was having pain in my abdomen for the longest time. I had a CT scan to see what the problem was but on the day I was to find out the results I was taken by ambulance that day. I had all sorts of test because they thought that I had a mini stroke. Come to find out that I developed DVT....Deep Vein Thrombosis. That is a clinical way of saying blood clot. I was not too worried about it until I found out how fatal it could be if the blood clot broke loose. It could go to my lungs, heart, or brain. Each one would take me to my reward in heaven. I was diagnosised on August 13th, 2009. I have pain in my leg most of the day. It will be more intense if I walk too much during the day. I do try to push my limit but I do pay for it later. As it stands now I have an appointment with a Vascular Surgeon to find out where I stand.
I am on Long Term Disability now and I can only stay on it for 1 year so that means by December I will be cut off from all monies unless the clot has dissolved before then. We shall see what the out come is. Well, as it is now I just have to wait for the results of the tests that I will go through. I will have to remain on Coumiden which is a blood thinner. I need to get a medical alert bracelet so that if anything ever happens that causes me to have to go to the hospital and I am not able to speak for myself that they will know that I am on that medication. Great huh?
I may have to remain on this for 6 months to 1 year after it dissolves. I will have to have follow up scans to make sure I have not developed another.
So, that is all for this moment.
