PA THE REALLY OLD MAN!!!!!!!!! I GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL THIS AFTERNOON . BUD CALLED JUST AS I WALKED INTO THE HOUSE. BUD I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU CALLING, HAD ABOUT 75 E-MAILS FROM PEOPLE ON THE FORUM AND I AM ABOUT 1/2 HALF WAY THROUGH READING THEM. JOHN I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE AILING AGAIN, HOPE YA GET OVER WHAT EVER IT IS. I AM NOT GOING TO ANSWER ALL OF YOUR EMAILS FOLKS, IT WOULD TAKE ALL NIGHT AND MOST OF TOMORROW, I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU THAT TOOK TIME TO MAIL ME, IT IS GOOD TO KNOW YA HAVE SO MANNY FRIENDS, SOME I HAVE NOT EVEN MET BUT FEEL LIKE I ALREADY KNOW .
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME SEVERE PAIN UNDER MY LEFT LEG ALL THE WAY TO MY FOOT. TOOK MANY TEST AND ALL TURNED OUT NEG. I FINALLY DEDICED TO HEAD TO SOME NEW DOC'.S, THEY ALSO TOOK MANY TEST AND COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. FINALLY ONE OF THE DOC'S SAID THAT HE HAD JUST GOTTEN A NEW SONNAGRAM MACHINE AND WOULD LIKE TO TRY IT OUT. I GAVE HIM THE O.K. AND BOY THAT THING LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I HAD A STRING OF BLOOD CLOTS FROM MY UPPER LEG TO THE BOTTOM OF MY CALF. HE SENT ME DIRECTLY TO CHECK INTO THE HOSPITAL,
AFTER 6 DAYS UNDER MEDICATION WE GOT THE CLOTS DESOLVED AND MY BLOOD CLEAN AGAIN. I WILL BE ON BLOOD THINNER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE BUT I WILL HAVE SOME KIND LIFE WHERE I CAN GET BACK OUT ON THE WATER AND GET IN A FEW MORE DAYS OF FISHING. I ALSO WILL HAVE A DIET TO FOLLOW FOR A WHILE.

I JUST THANK GOD FOR GETTING THIS ALL STRAIGHTEN OUT AND CAUGHT IN TIME.
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE MAIL AND PRAYERS . PA THE OLD MAN

Good to hear that got the problem diagnosed and you are on the mend. Take care!

Alright! Its great to hear that "modern medicine" finally caught up to your clots.
Good thing you kept looking!

Glad to hear you are OK PA.

Glad to hear you're up and about, Pa.

Glad to hear your on the upswing Pa

Thank God for new equipment. Glad your problem was found and relieved.

Sorry that I didn't know you were ailing....Glad you are doing better...We'll keep praying for continued recovery !

'Good to hear ya out of th 'hors'pital and getting along. A little recuperative fishing might do ya good, if you can catch a nice day for it. The diet will be the tough part, at least it would be for me. Hang in there, long as ya can.

Glad that you are feeling better.

Earl, its good to hear that the Docs sorted you out and well done for persevering.

Take it easy and keep off that Bushwacker machine for a while , that thing is enough to give you blood clots, or piles.
