I guess it showed that I am at high risk for a blood clot, and Doctor has given me exercises to do, and I have to take an adult aspirin every day, and if I have a heart attack I have to go to the emergency room. Oh! I just was not expecting that. Feeling a little scared now |

If doctor has given you exercise and aspirin, didn't he reassure you? Try hot, then cold, showers (baths are good), dry skin brushing beforehand will also help move the blood and definitely keep up those exercise. Just a sluggish system hopefully so don't get measured up yet! LOL |

Aspirin is great at thinning the blood. Just keep taking it and doing the excercises. Susan's advice sounds good too. You're in my thoughts and prayers. |

Because my Doctor is two hours away, I got the news via phone, and now I have a million questions I wish I had asked. He is off work today, but I hope back tomorrow, so I will call him and get some fears allayed. I thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. I'm also thinking of Diana, as tomorrow is her day of news. |

Of course, the good news is that it is NOT a blood clot yet and the chances are that it never will be because you were wise enough to go in and get it checked out right away. In turn, the doctors were able to catch the problem BEFORE it became too serious. I know you can't help but worry, but just do as your doctor's say and everything should be fine. My prayers are speeding their way to God and my loving, healing thoughts to you! |

Couldn't he take the time to call you himself and answer all of your questions to put your mind at ease? Honestly, it's like they forget what it feels like to be on the receiving end of such news.
