DVT FREE and Clear

Yes, no blood clot!!!! I’m happy to be sitting, at home, on my computer writing this post. I was such an emotional wreck last night over the whole thing. I was so scared that I had a hard time falling to sleep (yes, I become a little overdramatic at times). But I’m here, no clot and…the mystery is still on!

Since March 7th; my right foot has been retaining water and has been pretty swollen as well. This ‘all-of-the-sudden’ ailment hasn’t given any signs of wanting to heal and the doctors are just as baffled as I am. I told my husband this morning, after the Doppler exam, that I needed to be featured on “Mystery Diagnosis” because it’s been just that- a mystery. A mystery as to why my foot, over night, became so swollen that I couldn’t wear shoes for a long time, so swollen that even a water pill hasn’t worked. Not a single medicine, X-ray or antibiotic has fixed it or even given any word of what this might be. We’ve spent more money than we’d like to- just to be told, “nope, it’s not that”. I’m literally going insane over this. I know my friends are probably pretty sick of hearing me complain about this too. **To everyone who’s had to listen to me babble on about this, I’m sorry***

So now what? I just need to sit here (patiently); waiting for the doctor to call me to let me know what’s next. I do know this. The doctor said if it was not a clot, she thought that maybe, just maybe, it could be a vein deficiency of some sort. More tests for this will follow until they figure it out (or until we run out of money). I know that the Doppler tech said I had really small veins, but that was all she said, except for – you’re clear.

I’ll keep you guys informed as I get information. It may take a while though so please bare with me.

Okay…back to work for me

Blogfully yours,
