1grumpy, did you mention Nashville?
i went there for a civil war tour end of April.
lovely city and enjoyed everything there.
mommasita - I hope you get answers from your ct scan. I know EDS is a cousin to Marfans syndrome. My sister passed away from that. I still think my boys, the oldest 2 have more eds symptoms. The one had a dislocated knee several times and the one had knee surgery too. The surgeon saw he never saw tissue like that before,spongy. The one ds breaks his bones very easily,but I think some of that is long term steroid use for his asthma. Do you have any symptoms like that since I dont know much about eds compared to marfans.
Hope your new synthroid dose makes you feel better
macraven - how are you doing post surgery. Has the swelling decreased. When do you see the surgeon?
Igrumpy - I am sure you will be glad to start your med. Hope you get good results.
squeegee- I am sure you will be happy to go home tomm. Hoping you are enjoying some regular food as best you can.
I am getting bored keeping my leg up. I have an appt. with the vascular surgeon next thurs. The er told me it was suppose to be 3-5 days, yeah right. Then they want me to see someone in internal medicine. I told them there is no way I am going back to the one dr. I had. She might be a John Hopkins grad but she has a terrible personality so they gave me someone else. They want me to see someone before next thurs. Even ds agreed it was too long to wait . So instead of disney next week, its doctors and doctors and now dh called me and some problems happened that he will need to straighten out at work next week, so I guess its all for the best. sigh. and more sigh.
I tried walking to the mailbox and felt a sharp pain in my leg.

Just had the whole- body scan, and for once, It's all good news. Uptake where expected, in amounts expected. Bloodwork good. And the Dr. says I am "absolutely" clear to rejoin general population, with Little monster. In an excess of caution, I will still sleep alone for a while, and will keep a bathroom to myself for a few more days, but no other restrictions. Am so relieved! I don't have to go back for six more months!
LMP - any news on the vascular front?
squeegee - that is very good news. I am so happy for you. Praying for you.
macraven - how is your recovery going?
christine - I amreading alot since I am suppose to take it easy. Just won 2 more books from goodreads.I ts amazing how much you can read in the emergency room,lol!
Well I went back to the emergency room on sun. Ds3 and dh took me. Ds3 left after a while. I wanted him there to answer any questions from the previous er visit. I freaked out because I was peeing blood. Its better but a side effect of the med and my side hurt too. So they did a ct scan of the lungs and stomach because that was hurting too to make sure the clot did not travel. I had iv problems and it looks like someone got into a fight with me with the black and blues, lol.
Oh and today I was suppose to go to the internist. They cancelled it on me!! And now I am suppose to go tomm. I looked up the drs. name on the website and its listed nowhere. We shall see what happens tomm. I am glad I was in the er yest as that would have been just more days without someone following up with me.
squeegee- I go to a univ.teaching hosp. I looked up the vascular surgeon dr. they are giving me, you cant really pick one unless another dr. specifically asks for one for you or if they are new etc. So my guy speaks chinese and mandarin and guess what...He is an Aggie!!! Hmm, Aggies arent bad right. We shall see. His scope is very impressive. He is very into artery grafts etc.
What would they even do with me, just monitor me with the blood thinner, put a stent in? I am concerned about it breaking off and going to my lung. Its pretty big. Mid thigh to knee. My r lower leg still hurts but some blood supply is getting down there they said.
LMP
everything that squeegee said made sense to me.
when mine happened, ended up with the vein stripping. happened quickly, at the doc and then to the hospital then surgery next day.
not my choice of treatment.
my recovery was icky.
i would think that since they released you from the er and not admitted you, your meds will likely help dissolve the clot.
are you wearing the pass the thigh compression hose?
