Where'd the rest of the month go?
After getting out of the hospital, I spent the next week in bed. Basically had no energy to do anything. I'm thinking it was the antibiotics I was on, but effect was that I felt like I had pneumonia. On Monday last week, I had an appointment with the wound care department at the hospital. While there, one of the nurses noticed that I was sweating bullets, was having difficulty breathing, along with minor chest pains. So, they admitted me. On Wednesday, the wound care doctor performed a surgical procedure on my leg wound, to clean it up. Now, I have to pack the wound with citric acid (vinegar) dressings. Yes, the pain is excruciating! But no pain, no gain, right? Late Friday afternoon, I was released from hospital. Trying to get back into the swing of work, but I'm going to take it easy for the first couple of days. Still on the antibiotics which are kicking my ass. |

I recently had spinal surgery and instead of taking the morphine and opioids, I started taking over the counter NSAIDs. Later, I got to feeling really bad, weak, tired didn't feel like doing anything. Slept a lot. I thought I may have pneumonia. Went to a clinic twice thinking I had pneumonia. Second time they could not see any reason so they said they could not help me and suggested I go to an emergency room which I did.
Doctor told me that the NSAIDs were making me very tired and drowsy. Stopped those pills and felt much better. |

I'm on the same regiment - Coumadin
I had a blood clot in 1997 in my leg. After a full blood analysis, they told me I had Protein C Deficiency (Protein C deficiency is a disorder that increases the risk of developing abnormal blood clots; the condition can be mild or severe. Individuals with mild protein C deficiency are at risk of a type of blood clot known as a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).) I take either 2.5mg or 5mg during the week. I'm suppose to keep my pro-time numbers between 2 and 3. I've been lucky so far. I'm one of the few that go in for testing - once every 3 months. The trick is to keep your diet pretty much the same. I have to eat a salad every day. If I fail, then the number goes up due to the vitamin K interaction. Now if my hemorrhoids would go away... |

Best wishes to you. I really hope you don't develop venous ulcers, which is something that I've been living with off and on for the past 12+ years. Including the ulcer that's been hounding me for the past 3+ years. |

So have your ulcers been caused by taking Coumadin? |

I also have to wear support socks. Here are what my legs look like below. The red area is very sensitive to touch. It hurts like a MF if hit hard. I also have to keep my legs elevated when sitting down. I did go in once to have a faulty valve fix so the redness would go away, but it never did so I never went back for another shot. At this point in time, I'll be 65 in May and I don't want to do any more about it - I'll just live with it.
It's hard finding a decent set of support socks. Been trying different companies, but the quality sucks. Most don't last more that 6 months. |

Might want to try Under Armour Sport socks.
I got them for my son playing sports(football and baseball) and he still wears them many years later. A tad expensive if buy local(8 to 10 a pair). He was a sweaty kid and needed a quality sock. Not sure the tightness you need. I believe they were heat gear over the calf. |
