In The Hospital

I am in the hospital. It looks like I am going to be here at least a few days. I've had that "pinched nerve" that ran into my leg to the point where I couldn't walk the last two days. Then I noticed one leg was entirely purple.....emergency room time!!!

Turns out my "pinched nerve" is a bloodclot running the entire length of my leg and in my lung.

Boooo. All my plans for Easter and my daughters birthday are now on hold. My annual yard sale also on hold.
Well at least the hospital has internet!!

    Oh my goodness! I'm so glad that you got to the hospital. This could have been REALLY serious if you wouldn't have gone in time! Sorry about your Easter plans, but at least you are being cared for. You'll be on the mend soon! ~Stacy~

    OMG...sorry to read this! The hospital is the best place for you right now. Our bodies have a way of telling us that it is time to "slow down" and put some things on hold. I know--I've been there and done that!!

    I will be remembering you in my prayers.

    OMG, how awful! I'm glad you made it to the hospital in time. Blood clots are serious business. So sorry your Easter was ruined, but at least you are okay. My Easter was altered by a tornado that ripped through our airport just as two of my cousins were flying in. One got diverted and had a horrible long trip by bus and another had to cancel altogether as the airport was still shut down yesterday. What a terribly exciting Easter this has been! ;) Hope you are well very soon and back home safe. Happy Easter!

    I can't stress enough how serious this is (or was) I hope you are on the mend now, do you know what caused it?

    So sorry to hear that you've got DVT but SO glad to hear that you are being cared for. I've been in your shoes before and know how hard it is to miss those holidays and special occasions (my DVTs happened on Christmas Eve and then again the next year for New Year's Eve). Take advantage of the time in the hospital to rest and get well (in between the blood draws, that is!) and hang in there! GET WELL SOON!
