A Bit of A Scare!

As most of you  know I had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair  a torn medial meniscus late Wednesday of last week.  Sunday night I did not sleep very well due to the ache in my leg.  When I got up that morning I had severe pain in my right calf,  the leg I had surgery on.  It felt like a muscle cramp that you could not walk off.  Pain meds did not take the pain away so after another long night in pain I called the Doctor's office at 9AM Tuesday morning.  Pretty much in agony the whole day.  At about 4PM the nurse called me back and told me to go straight to the ER so they could check me out for possible blood clot in my leg.   Life threatening if the clot breaks off and goes to the pulmonary artery.
Called my husband to come home, begged my sister to come watch my kids and headed to the ER.
Luckily for me it was not a blood clot but a severe muscle spasm with symptoms that looked and acted like a blood clot. I am now on some new muscle relaxants and hopefully on the mend.
It was a scary night and to look at my poor husband's face was the hardest part.  I am not sure if it was that he would miss me if I was to go or what he would do with the kids!?!  I think he aged 80 years last night.  Times like that make you really stop and think about the important things in your life!

But on a brighter note just a reminder to make a guess for my giveaway here.  It ends tomorrow!  Good luck to everyone!  Winner announced later that evening!
