with all this swelling and keeping my feet up after 48 hours, it was still red and warm to the touch...my doctor told us to come in and after talking to me & my mother, he feels that I'd need an ultrasound to make sure I don't have blood clots. What an edgy, agonizing 2.5 hours it was! the US technician is a sweetie and in the middle of pushing gel around my leg (ouch!), didn't like the machine she's working with, as she was VERY partial to another machine that reads better. so she swapped machines and delivered the good news: I have no blood clots! SWEET!
but, I'm on doctor's strict orders to keep taking the antibiotic for the infection and keep my feet/knees elevated for 48 hours, so I'm stuck with Mom and Dad for another 2 days.
just thought I'd post something good for change! :cool:
