So now I'm in the hospital dangit.....

[Terry Sumner]

I don't yet know what my long term ramifications are yet. Hoping I'll find out soon....

Take care Terry... Ive been there too with several blood clots in my lungs after my accident and surgeries...do everything they say to and you will be better soon.

You guys are all dang lucky, I've known two people killed by clots breaking free and getting flushed to their lungs, most recent of which was a H.S. Classmate (we were only 33 at the time too) who left his widow and teenage step daughter with two little kids to care for just last summer

Some how I wouldn't be surprised if Crazy Jim knew one of his uncles too.....................

How tight was the dressing on your knee? When I had mine done I mentioned that the dressing was tight and I could feel my calf bulge. After it started to get hot, they re-dressed it for me. I was in for a week since the surgery was extensive and I was confined to the bed most of the time, so they were watching to see if a clot formed, which it didn't.

Get well soon!

It was fairly tight I guess. But I never had one before though so I don't really have a frame of reference as to what is too tight or normal tight.
