Deep vein thrombosis

[MisB]

Yesterday morning the doctors mentioned deep vein thrombosis. excuse spelling. I had utrasound and found I have blod clots, both legs. don't mix well with blood thinner are using, so just had minor procedure. The put in a filter to help catch large clots that would normally go thru t lung. heavily drugged, more coming, still not sure what's going on, just wanted ya'll to know. PLus, they want me to sleep on my back, i'm a side sleeper, so I'll be sleeping sitting up with my lap top. Probably just play dumb games. can't think very wel. More tomorrw, or some in/out tonight God bless everyone tonight.

I'm with Dusty, what's with the blood thinner and the "minor" procedure?

 

[MisB]

They discovered I have blood clots in both legs, typically treated by bloo thinner. As I am having a Crohn's flare, blood thinner not way to go, everyone started acting all commando. Or maybe it was the drugs. Anyway, need under control for Crohn's so they insterted a filter to catch any of the largert clots that might try to make their way to my lung. Right now, I feel like I've been hit by a truck, or bus, or :ybatty: Doc should be here soon. I"ll post more later.

I figured it was something like that but just curious as sometimes they will risk one thing to bring another under control. At least they're ensuring you don't suffer with a Pulmonary Embolus!

It's small comfort but at least you are in the right place. Always thinking about you MisB. :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:


:goodluck: and :getwell:


Dusty.

That does not sound minor to me!! A filter where? In femeral artery? Maybe I've just got the wrong picture in my head. I hope you are feeling ok this morning. I look forward to everything you say on here, even if it is aimed at me...ok especially if it's aimed at me. Get better Bev!!!

Bev - so sorry to hear about the dvt's. Just what you need right now, huh? I developed some last Dec ("out of the blue", with pe's as well) - but as my Crohn's flare was pretty much controlled I had to go the blood thinner route. Glad they put the filter in, but are they doing anything about the clots in your legs?
