AMEN!
Please, please, PLEASE establish a good relationship with your Dr. Be assertive. My reg. Dr. is now a family friend and really looks out for me and my family members. I have been blessed to have caring specialists as well.
Please be careful with DVT. Maillotpois' experience brought back some very sad memories I didn't feel comfortable putting on her "I am now out of the hospital" post. That was a post for her, not for me to share sad, tender memories. I will share here.
A dear, dear friend of mine died six months ago (4 days before Christmas) from blood clots in the lungs. That evening I was leaving a building and heard sirens not too far away, not knowing they were responding to my friend's emergency. I remember thinking "I hope whoever is hurt will be OK". Little did I know it was my friend. He had chronic leukemia for 15 years and took a bath to ease some leg pain he was having. It is thought the warm water loosened the clot that was causing the pain and it travelled to his lung and killed him. I really miss him.
