The trip to the surgical clinic at the hospital was successful but has resulted in me having to visit my local clinic daily to get the dressing changed. This may go on for weeks! The doctor at the hospital removed a huge blood clot and seemingly it's tricky to get these healed. I'm just happy to have the care I need handy and free of charge. Thank goodness for our excellent health care system.
This has curtailed my activities somewhat but I am well stocked up with good books, can still get to the library and there's tennis to watch on TV. It won't do me any harm to take it easy for the next month or so. I can still drive, do my grocery shopping and keep up with my housework and gardening. I am on another round of antibiotics which are making me queasy so, who knows, I may even lose some weight!
I am so sorry to hear of your recent difficulties, Chris. And I'm sorry that you won't be able to enjoy your pool this season. I know how much you enjoy your swimming, especially in the hot weather.
ReplyDeleteSending my very best wishes for a quick recovery. Xx
Thank you Jules. I'm trying to stay positive!
DeleteOuch, I sure hope you heal up quickly, Chris. I am certainly glad that the surgeon got the blood clot removed. Take it easy and enjoy the enforced rest, and hopefully by the end of the summer you can use the pool a little.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That;s my hope too, Jackie. It's really hot here today and I would have loved to cool off in the pool!
DeleteYou do seem to be getting excellent health care, thank goodness. I think we need to consider this enforced downtime as a staycation, relax and repair without pressure, you’ll be good as new.
