It is me. Your diagnosis is correct. I have it in both legs but the left is worse My left thigh is 7 inches bigger than my right. They moved me to the hospital in Tulsa. Getting plenty of shots in my tummy. I am doing fine.

Thanks for letting us know that you're in good hands and getting proper care. Sounds like those belly shots are heparin or the equivalent to keep your blood thinned. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Good to hear that you are on the hospital and hope you are in good shape again soon. Have had a heart attack myself and know how important it is to prompt treatment.

Wow, just checking in and saw this. I'm so glad you are doing ok Stormy. Y'all are wonderful on here helping her decide what to do. I always downplay stuff when it's me affected. Next time I need to be scared into taking care of myself I'm coming here Positive thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery, Stormy.
