Post-Op Day # 47 - Four Week Ultrasound

Well the foot feels pretty good again today, it was a tiny bit tender this morning but that worked itself out so that was nice.

This afternoon I had my 4 week ultrasound and they said the clot has reduced a fair amount in size, esp on the one side. Its pretty cool how you can see the blood moving in the veins on the machine. The guy showed me the one vein that is clotted up pretty good still but you could see a tiny bit of blood getting through -- YAY!

He said by the time I go back, I should be much more mobile and that will help the clot breakdown quicker as there will be a better blood supply.

I go back in 2months for the 3months follow-up so that is good.........unless I have any weird cramping in my calf or anywhere else before that time(KNOCK ON WOOD!).


Its pretty darn warm out today so I'm seeking refuge in the house where its nice and cool with the fans going. I may go out later for a ride around the block in the wee-chair.

We might go to a movie tonight but not sure, depends on what Adam wants to do.

I have to take 10mg of Warfarin tonight

Well that's about it, Im happy with the results from today --phew, we're slowly making process! :-)

Thanks for checking in
