After a year I'm Back

mark · 07-29-2009, 05:04 PM

Last Aug 7th I had a "simple" knee Scope. The kind that keeps ball players off the field for like 4 weeks. Well developed DVT( Blood Clot) was put on too much blood thinner for a week, had a bleed in the knee cavity, swelled up to the size of a perfect volleyball and stayed that way until new years! Now after nearly a year and more hours of rehab than I care to remember I've been cleared to go! Been lookin at the thread on the dragon. I think a trip from the Shenandoah Valley down to the tail just might be in order real soon.

Glad to hear you're doing better mark. I've been there with the blood clots too and they are a major mess. Enjoy getting back into the saddle!

From one Mark to another, welcome back!

Welcome back. I had 3 clots in my leg after back surgery. I was on Coumadin for two years and have now moved to aspirin. The back is better but the leg will never be the same.

Glad you are back. Sheila and I have noticed that you haven't posted here for a while. Also, glad to hear that you are doing better.
