Doctor Visit - March 4
On Thursday, March 4th, we had a fairly long day at the University of Iowa. We arrived before 10 AM (it was so nice that we did not have to arrive before 8 AM!) - and got home about 5 PM. The only challenge that morning was that I could not eat after midnight because of the PET scan I would be having. My first stop was for an ultrasound. I thought that was strange, because they had done an ultrasound on my arms (which I questioned at the time why it was my arms and not my legs) about 5 weeks earlier. Because they did not find any blood clots, I was able to stop taking my blood thinner. This time, my ultrasound was on my legs. There was a student who was learning how to do ultrasounds, so she got to work on part of my left leg while the tech watched. I assured her that I did not bite - hard. Of course, they could not tell me what they found (or did not find), but I learned later that I still had a partial blood clot where there had been one last fall. That just means that I am back on
