isleseeya Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well , as most may have seen via a different thread I posted , I recently had surgery to repair a rupturedf achille's tendon Was doing well aftet the surgery but over last 48 hrs I began to get severe pains in my calf ..this morning was the worst...call dr and he told me to meet him at hospitale ... went to hospital today and after checking and running tests , they found a blood clot in back of my knee Looks like I will be in hospital a few days on blood thinners and anti coagulants Hate not being home at night with wife and kids ...but am glad they caught this and its being treated So I sit here in a gown and watch tv with an iv drip Thank goodness for blackberry and internet access ... And maybe a nice sponge bath tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Wow, that really sucks Isy. However, it's a great thing that they caught it and are taking care of it versus it creating a bigger problem. Good luck with everything there and try and keep your spirits high. I know it sucks to be away from your family but hopefully it won't be for too long. Keep your chin up, pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Man, that sucks isle. I knew that there were a lot of surgery-related effects of that procedure but didn't want to scare ya too much ... here's hoping you get better soon. Maybe they can call whomper in to do your sponge bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hang in there and get well, Isleseeya. Being in the hospital totally blows. You can't get any decent sleep. You miss the wife and kids. The food sucks, and the guy next to you probably has something very contagious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
