    Bilateral THR Houndmom's THR Recovery Thread

    I've had 3 PT sessions, they seem to be helping flexibility, for me a big thing. I have my blood drawn weekly to check clotting levels due to warfarin. The last 4 times I have had the same tech do the draw and boy she loves her script. I understand the double checking the identity, important...

    I doubt the blood clot has cleared but I am unlikely to form new one with the warfarin I am on. I get another blood draw on Monday, yah. Left leg is still numb/pins and needley, and I have an appointment to see a neurologist at the end of the month. Kids are out of school so I have a...
