elginacres - 2021-02-12 10:26 PM Okay Patch...time check in, or someone needs to check on him.

 

It's been a long couple of weeks guys, but I am slowly healing up.

Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers.

The only thing I know for certain, finally, is that Covid has been ruled out after numerous tests. The last one finally came back last week and was negative for antibodies. The catch to this is that everyone has to go back to the drawing board. In other words, no one knows why the clots developed.

In the meantime, I just have to be careful. While I am better than before, I still get winded easily. But I can drive now, and run basic errands. I can help a bit around the house. So like I said, I'm getting there.

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for chiming in...clots can be an enigma sometimes....sometimes the unhealthiest folks get them and it can be pinpointed why, sometimes the wrold's best athletics in the primer of their careers get them....do what they say to get better.

True true words. Many times the cause remains unknown. We just treat em and street em (with meds of course) and hope they never return. Glad you are progressing on the sometimes arduous journey of recovery!

Hey Patch

I've been off the board for about a month and just read about your plight! Wow!

So glad you're on the mend.

My wife had a similar DVT emergency room and morphine didn't cut it experience. She was told that she was quite lucky and sounds like you were too. A DVT cannot get to your brain as that's on the artery side of the heart. The vein side goes to the lungs. She has Lupus which is a major risk factor for a DVT. Since that incident they have her on a high level of coumadin to prevent another one. She has to keep her INR between 2.5 and 3.0 which is tricky. So far no reoccurrence for her after more than 10 years.

Good luck my friend. Playing guitar heals many things so...

Jim
