yet another night of no sleep

[darcyvuqua]

Ok guys im back home i was seen by the orthopedic surgeon at the local A&E and what he told me was that i have blood sitting under the incision causing a hard and painfull lump in my calf

He said there was no real sign of infection around the area and my blood test came back all fine
he said that this is something my body would/should sort out by itself a little like getting rid of a hard and sore purple bruise (that were his words) however he has given me an appointment to see if there is any change by monday if there is not he will assess whether its worth keeping me in and draining it!

he also gave me stronger pain killers and told me to keep completely off of my foot for 2-3 weeks but keep wiggling my toes to keep cirulation

many thanks to all who have followed this thread and wished me well hope that is now my problem sorted

[darcyvuqua]

this was my leg yesterday afternoon can you see the bruising??

[veggiechicken]

Glad you're back home again! Sounds like a good outcome to me. Hope you get some sleep tonight, without pain
Yes, I can see the yellow bruising - very pretty

[darcyvuqua]

oh dear, he's stoned......
nice bruise, I don't think I've ever had something that impressive....all in one place anyway

[Bigmallly]

Well, the Morph must have kicked in Darcy, you don't appear to have been up through the night......good news.

[Florence Fennel]

Hope you got the blissful night's sleep you needed Darcy and that you feel refreshed this morning. The orthopods didn't recommend a comfrey poultice then?

[Bren In Pots]

Sounds like a good result Darcy, there's nothing worse than being in pain especially when you don't know what's causing it.

[Nicos]

Brill news!
...especially as they didn't keep you in overnight!

[lottie dolly]

thank goodness for that,hope you got a sleep last night,will make all the difference to how you feel,so you will need a wheel chair with a leg rest on for your garden center visits,plus a flag,keep positive,

[Two_Sheds]

[PyreneesPlot]
