My typical class, then a really nice lunch (fontina cheese in a chicken roll-up).
My right leg has been hurting for about 2 weeks just below the knee. I had asked, Jana, my vascular surgeon classmate about it 2 weeks ago, she felt it and said it seemed to be a small thrombosis close to the surface. Since my leg was still hurting and I couldn’t get an appointment with a specialist, I went to the ER of Santa Maria Nuova. I waited for 4 hours, was finally examined with an ultrasound by two doctors, and was out 6 hours after going in. They prescribed heparin, a blood thinner, to dissolve the clot and said I needed to see a specialist. They gave me a shot of heparin at the hospital but I needed to get more to self-administer the subcutaneous shots. Since it was after 8pm all the pharmacies were closed so I planned on getting what was needed Tuesday morning, and canceled my Tuesday class and had already canceled my one-on-one on Monday afternoon.
