Hi all,

Oh God thank goodness they found it, DVT's are very, very serious!
So glad you're home xxx

Thanks for the hugs and kind thoughts, feeling very down, and frightenened, i will have to go to the hospital every day, for blood tests and counselling, at least i'm feeling better now. i just feel as though christmas has passed me by this year. it wasn't easy being the youngest patient on the whole ward.the staff however were brilliant, they said it was a nice change to talk to a patient near there age.
one thing i have found out ,you don't get much rest or sleep in hospital, your always being disturbed by nurses or other patients. lol

Thanks wishbone if i wasn't already scared to death i would be now, do you know someone who has had this?

So sorry to hear you've been in hospital. At least you're now being treated for it. Big hugs. xx

I know if any of our clients get a warm, swollen leg then off they go to the leg specialist a.s.a.p...... and I know that if you are on the pill to always be aware of them..... and I have a few ladies with scars from them being removed.
The scary bit is when you don't know what you have, but yours was sorted so don't worry, you are in the best care.
