Wishing Pho well

[PHO127]

Yesterday(9-11) I was in so much pain again I went back to the VA. I have a blood clot in my left leg from the kidney stone sugery. I am back home on more drugs, An anti-coagulant (wayfarin) and 2 shots a day in the stomach of lovenox a blood thinner. The VA medical staff was nothing but the best. Once they confirmed the blood clot with a sonogram they called my clinic. My Dr. came to radiology and personally escorted me (i mean he pushed me in a wheelchair around the hospital) to the lab for blood draw and tests, the cardiac unit for EKG, to pharmacy to check the lab tests on a computer and order medicine. then to the learning center to have them show me how to give myself the shots. I have to tell you that I have had nothing but the finest and most attentive care from the VA.

Still have pain in the leg but lots of pain killers. Have to go to the hospital every week for blood and lab tests to check on the balance of the medicines, Doc said pain should go away in 4 or 5 days when the clot starts dissolving.
