Sheesh! So sorry you're having to go through this.
Ray. This is terrible. WTF? You've had the vaccine. You should have been admitted immediately JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE HAD THE VACCINE, let alone a history of blood clots. OMG!!Well here is the latest saga about my condition. During the fishing trip my good leg ( left) was unusually swollen. My sons kept remarking about it. I just played it off, using the excuse of eating junk food with to much salt. When I went to my primary doctor a week ago fri. She was alarmed and set me up with a doppler ultrasound on Monday. Then went straight to a specialist the same day. Well I have to blood clots in my leg. So he took me off the eliquis and put me on coumadin. Weds they put in a filter just below my aorta. Now every week I have to go to the hospital for blood work. Either Mon and wednesdays or Tues and Thursdays. I have a standing order so I just need to show up. I felt like a ticking time bomb until I got the filter in. If not for the covid my doctor would have admitted me immediately since I lost my other leg to blood clots.
Ok, erase, erase, erase. My prayers are with you. I didn't overeact, but I shouldn't have yelled.Ray. This is terrible. WTF? You've had the vaccine. You should have been admitted immediately JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE HAD THE VACCINE, let alone a history of blood clots. OMG!!
WTF are they doing to us??
Wow Ray!!! I’ll be praying along with several others around here.. stay positive!Well here is the latest saga about my condition. During the fishing trip my good leg ( left) was unusually swollen.

So sorry you're having to go through all that Ray, but thank goodness they spotted the clots and can take action.Well here is the latest saga about my condition.

I was talking about it with the vet today. She said that while all 3 had “leg injuries“, they were all very different and almost certainly had different causes.
Sadly, this one too had to be put to sleep. There was an open and infected wound and a compound fracture. He must have been in a lot of pain.
I am praying we get no more.
I will have to start doing that. But this spring has been dry.
I agree, the first time they found blood clots, I was in the hospital for another reason and they wouldn't discharge me until I had a filter put in. I guess the persistent questioning from me about being admitted and the calm responses I received. I went along with it. It is kind of crazy though. The filter should only stay in for 6 months because it can deteriorate. I still don't know what happens if the blood clots are still there after 6 months. The doctor just said we will wait and see at that time.Ray. This is terrible. WTF? You've had the vaccine. You should have been admitted immediately JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE HAD THE VACCINE, let alone a history of blood clots. OMG!!
WTF are they doing to us??
Thanks Heather, I was getting amped up to start getting active with my new leg. Was going to have injections in my lower back for the pain and had talked to my trainer at the gym. We had put together a game plan to get me back on my leg. As soon as it's ok to go off my blood thinner for 3 days. I will get the injection. For now I will just exercise on my cross trainer when I get the ok.Wow Ray!!! I’ll be praying along with several others around here.. stay positive!
Thanks Lyn, I have Rose looking at my leg all the time for discoloration. When I lost my leg to blood clots and I was in the hospital when it happened. Rose said it was overnight from my leg looking normal to discoloring and looking dead. The only plus I guess is that my right leg was full of blood clots from the negative reaction to heparin. There wasn't much they could do. I asked if they thought these blood clots might have formed because of the vaccine. Of course they didn't seem to interested in that theory.So sorry you're having to go through all that Ray, but thank goodness they spotted the clots and can take action.
Thanks for putting a humerus spin on this I needed that.? They have told me what to look out for in regards to other blood clots. The doctors here I am sure deal with this all the time. To me it is urgent and has me on pins and needles. But I will trust the doctors and put my faith in God.Dear God Ray!
I will be praying for a speedy recovery!!!
I am so glad they caught it in time.
The filter.... that was a GOOD thing to get.
Just makes it easier to take out and clean like the ac we have in the window..?
Now..... you just need to sit there and relax!
Rose does NOT want to take care of Opo all of the time soooo you better hurry up and get all your clots,lumps and bumps under control FAST before she comes at you with her butcher knife Wielding her fish head claiming to “fix you herself”!!!!
We need you HERE too !!!
I need your advice!!
I need your help!!
I still need to see rose and Opo to get Christmas ideas and to show my Sulcata YOUR Sulcata because they will be
“Friends/lovers” one day!!!
Then I can be the “auntie” that just drops by for a visit with candy!!! ?
All kidding aside Ray, I will be sending you good vibes and lots of hugs. You are gonna be just fine. Make sure they have checked you ALL OVER to lower any more “risks”.
Humidity!?Really dry here too. It’s been rather cool, but warming. Today starts Summertime temps. Already sweating hot. Luckily no humidity yet.
Thanks, I also had to cancel my lower back injections for today. Because I was required to be off my blood thinner meds 3 days prior to the procedure. ?
Forgot to mention that they found 2 blood clots.
And stay off skateboards? You promise, doncha?Thanks for putting a humerus spin on this I needed that.? They have told me what to look out for in regards to other blood clots. The doctors here I am sure deal with this all the time. To me it is urgent and has me on pins and needles. But I will trust the doctors and put my faith in God.
That’s not happening here. We have high winds and heavy rain forecastAnother bee utiful day here in Maryland. Summer temps are about to hit us, with a bunch of 90 degree days in the 10 day forecast. ?
It’s been unseasonably dry as well.
It’snot about the cost of fixing. It’s about being able to be released back into the wild. This hedgehog species doesn’t make a good pet. They don’t do well in captivity. They need to roam and will roam a mile in a night easily. If there’s no prospect of recovery to a point where they can roam and fend for themselves then it’s kinder to put them to sleep.I am ever so sorry to hear you had to put him to sleep. I would have taken him! ?
I hate hearing of animals over here in the US being out down....
Just because no one wanted them or they were too expensive to fix!
Would we do that to a human baby????
We shouldn’t just “get rid of them”....
I would take them ALL if I could fit them!!!
Hey....wait?.....
Doesn’t EllieMay have a faaarrrmm??? ??
I don't mind the rain but the strong winds make me nervous.?That’s not happening here. We have high winds and heavy rain forecast
It's been raining off & on all day but is now pouring. Flash flood time.I don't mind the rain but the strong winds make me nervous.?
Batten down the hatches for tomorrow night.
