Went to my doctor today. Have a doppler ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday. Doctor thinks I have developed more clots in my left leg. I am really thinking about going to the hospital. My doctor doesn't think it is urgent. But I am sitting on pins and needles. Dont know if I want to wait until tues.
Well it can't hurt to go unless it's not covered by insurance and that's only money. I'd listen to Rose ??

Found the England vs Ukraine game. Wow….lots of scoring…

England 4 . ukraine 0.
Nice. I tried to sign up for a VPN lately to watch Linda's rescue show but the free ones really aren't free anymore. Once I was able to watch Carol's high school program doing that with a VPN. I can't even remember how I did it but I did. Maybe you could get some back shows.?

Sadly, Ray, you might get better care. Do not mess around. If your instincts are go, then go. I am worried, as are we all. Clots are nothing to F** with!! We don't hear from you, we worry. Just like we worry when we don't hear from Joe's Mum, Maggie, Chubbs, & y'all.
At the emergency waiting room right now.

Please go Ray, I've been worrying about you. It was a blood clot that took my brother from us sooner than we were expecting. He had a dopler scan before leaving hospital because of his ankles swelling. It didn't show anything to worry about at the time and maybe if he'd been more active he would have been OK, but clots are sneaky, so for your own peace of mind, make sure you are in the best place to deal with them.
At the hospital right now. Will keep you updated.

I'll be hoping and praying ? it's just a minor difficulty. It's way better to get actual tests then an educated guess.
Well good news there are no new blood clots. There are 3 hard pea sized objects at the base of my calf muscle kinda deep from the surface of the skin. That is what my doctor thought was clots. So much for educated guesses. When they pressed on them with their fingers. It hurts like hell, that is why I went to the hospital. Today there was mild pain all the time. Where before only when I pressed on them. Since it doesn't seem life threatening, they gave me a vascular specialist to make a appointment with. At least I am at ease now. Thanks everyone for your concerns.

Yeah! I have one like that on my right shin and it looks like a pea is stuck under my skin. Doppler years ago showed it was just a plain mass that they think was originally a bone chip off my shin (very active kid) that just built up scar tissue. I hope the best for you and listen to Rose more often, at least at my house it is smarter option listening to my wife Keri!

I'm sorry for all your troubles Ray, but very pleased to hear you're there to let the docs find out what's going. on. I really hope it's nothing too drastic but better safe than sorry.
Take care or even better let them take care of you.

That's great, would they cause the swelling?
At least now you have 'peas' of mind!!;)
Hopefully the hard peas will be gone soon too.

We have a million free ROKU channels, none are showing the EURO games..

View attachment 328427
I don't have many tv channels owing to living in a valley and I don't want Sky as I don't watch enough tv to warrant the cost, but yesterday at least 5 of them were showing sport at the same time - Euros on English and Welsh channels, rugby, horseracing, Wimbledon on 3 BBC channels and F1. I quite like to watch the tennis and rugby but can't stand football. Thank goodness for the radio!
