Lol I totes got a blood clot in my leg from flying. Went to the walk-in clinic this morning, they sent me for blood tests "just in case" - the doc was pretty sure it was just a superficial thing and not deep-vein thrombosis (the scary one) because of the swelling pattern.
Blood tests done - 3 vials taken. I wasn't in the mood to be tough so Daniel held my hand. Figured it was all done with so no big deal.
Theeeeeeeeeennnn around 7pm when I was cooking dinner, the doc calls me and says "so you should go to the ER now, I'll call ahead and let them know you're coming." Whatever thing it is that they test for, to see if you have DVT, normal level is 500 something something or less and my number was 1945 so that's cool.
Friggin ER took 2.5 hours though. And they took 5 more vials of blood. THEN gave me a blood thinner - standing up was interesting. Tomorrow morning I'll go down for an ultrasound and we'll take it from there. Fuckin' thing. Seriously.
