Sorry to jump back to her “possible blood clot”. She has been posting the day before the next day, so she was in so much pain from something that could literally kill her and she was waiting until Monday to get it looked at? She is laaaahing. Besides, a doc who suspects a blood clot would send her to the ER because they can’t diagnose that it’s not in an office visit. They need imaging. Also, if she was really worried she could have called her office’s on-cal doctor and they would have told her the same. Instead she went to a Christmas get together and seemed like she always does. Not at all seeming to be in “inscruciating” pain.[/QUOTE]
I don't know. She won't fit in an MRI machine, and the wand ultrasound wouldn't make it through the fat to get a clear picture. I think the only way they would be able to see a clot is if they did a Cardiac catheterization at the pain site. That's pretty invasive, but at almost 600 pounds, an x-ray, CT, or MRI will no longer work on her. The one time I think she really needs to get to the ER is NOW, and I won't even give her shit for it. But she'd rather sit in bed eating lo-mein because she can't walk. She'll go for gall bladder pain, or other ailments, but now she going to ignore the one thing that will kill her? Why won't she listen?
