What the frig!? I mean SERIOUSLY! Ok so I’m sitting at my laptop Monday night after working all day and I get up to get a drink and feel that my right leg just doesn’t feel right. I look down…. holy shit my foot / ankle area is massively swollen and funny looking!  I think back to about a week and a half ago when I fell down twice…. yeah I know – unco much?! haha

Anyways, so I figured the swelling and general retardness of my leg had something to do with that so I put some ice on it for the rest of the night and kept it elevated and it eventually went down. Then this morning it was swelled up again and kinda sore round my knee so I told work I wouldn’t be in and went to the docs for my appointment at 11…. an hour later I got seen!!

The doc (snarky bitch doctor by the way – not my usual nice lady doc) took a look and some measurements and concluded that my right calf was bigger than my left calf by a couple of cms so she said I needed an urgent blood test to see if I had a blood clot – as she wouldn’t recommend me flying unless it was checked out.

So 20mins later (and 3 failed attempts at finding a vein) I gave blood and went on my merry way home to report to my parents.  I had something to eat and a shower then got out to mum yelling at me that I had a call haha it was the nurse from the doctors to say that whatever indicates you have a blood clot was at elevated levels so they had made an appointment for me at the After Hours clinic at 3pm for an ultrasound to find the dastardly thing!  At that stage it was 2.10pm and so I figured she meant 3pm tomorrow….. yeah NO it was today so I had to get mum and dad to haul ass to take me cos they said I shouldn’t drive?!

Anyways long story short I had the ultrasound and they couldn’t find the suspected blood clot but said I would probably need to come in next week again for another ultrasound or at least another blood test to see if the levels of whatnot were elevated again…

So yeah it’s been a long day and bedtime is calling haha! Work again tomorrow… more training of more new people
