Wait several weeks to go to the VA hospital for a sonogram and come home to get the rest of the antibiotics (Which clearly would NOT have cured the condition.) I didn't even see a doctor so basically they were saying go home and die.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-46027156551796614142013-07-04T13:07:42.636-05:002013-07-04T13:07:42.636-05:00There was no VA hospital involved from what I read...There was no VA hospital involved from what I read. He said that he went to a Clinic which then offered him a number of choices for follow-up treatment. None of those choices were acceptable to David. I can not see that a VA hospital is in any way to be faulted.<br />Also, a VA Clinic are usually NOT equipped to do lab work, blood may be drawn but is sent away for the lab work. The Clinic's offer of follow-up treatment at other locations would have included such lab work. edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-5999060377589314482013-07-03T16:59:15.604-05:002013-07-03T16:59:15.604-05:00We all need to be good at something MsB.We all need to be good at something MsB.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-16937730208118976832013-07-03T13:36:42.230-05:002013-07-03T13:36:42.230-05:00Yes it shows! jajajajajaYes it shows! jajajajajaMsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-2941105496744463912013-07-03T13:34:53.163-05:002013-07-03T13:34:53.163-05:00Lol, Mr. Perfect :D

He said if it would have been a clot then I'd have to be on medication for it for the rest of my life and have to make weekly trips to Alpine to have it checked. Other wise it would have meant death because clots keep coming back. I'd have still died if I hadn't gone to the hospital though.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-14747245524791841782013-06-28T10:03:32.346-05:002013-06-28T10:03:32.346-05:00Glad you overcame your stubbornness.

All is well, but I will have to hang around here until the 3rd and go see the doctor for a final checkup and release. It turned out to be both a clot and infection so if I hadn't gone to the hospital I'd have surely been dead before the VA would have done anything. I guess possibly with in a few more days.<br /><br />I had intravenous antibiotics and a lot of other stuff going in 24 hours a day for the past three days.<br /><br />Thanks for all your thoughts.<br /><br />David<br />tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-6804976458116593122013-06-27T12:18:59.075-05:002013-06-27T12:18:59.075-05:00Melissa,

Both need urgent medical treatment. If it were a DVT, if untreated, it would put you at significant risk of heart attack or stroke from the clot going somewhere else, plus you may lose your leg. If a lymphangitis, the infection can spread and you may eventually go into sepsis, an overwhelming infection. I would recommend you to seek medical care in a big city hospital as soon as possible. <br />----------------------<br />I m praying for him. god bless .Thank yu Big Foot for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-85252174237196131662013-06-25T12:36:07.995-05:002013-06-25T12:36:07.995-05:00David's family member picked him up from his c...David's family member picked him up from his cabin and took him to Odessa. <br /><br />Bigfoot and Littlefoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627439273513199577noreply@blogger.com
