Lying in my bed yesterday 5 days after having surgery on my knee and i was breathless, heart was racing (sounds like panic doesn't it, well it wasn't!!!!!), felt exhausted. Getting up to the loo would make me so tired.
After feeling crappy all day i knew something was wrong so off to A & E i went.
6 hours later and after a whole load of horrid tests (including taking blood from a vein in my wrist) - i was put on a drug for DVT. I have got to INJECT MYSELF with this stuff every night. Not happy really, saying that - don't feel quite as tired and breathless as i did yesterday.
I am so scared that the clot will move and kill me :(
Scary stuff...
TRYING not to panic though.
