Hello friends,
As the title suggests, I have been given the all clear from the doctor today. I am so happy about this. What it means is that I will have no more appointments because the injections I had previously into the veins have done their job already. The veins have shrunken back to normal size. The doctor was really pleased with my progress and said I was free to go with no more appointments or wearing that dreaded stocking that almost choked my leg to death! While I was there he removed built up "dead blood" which was quite painful, but at least now I can go back to doing my normal activities once the tenderness subsides. It has been so frustrating being restricted in areas of my life, like my normal exercise routine. It also means that I am allowed to travel, so there is much planning to happen now.
Something odd has happened to my blog! I do not know what I have done. I have been trying to fix it tonight, but no success so far. Just warning you in case you happen to visit and notice different themes happening lol. The photos have shrunk along with some of the text and the sidebar items. What ever it is that I have unknowingly done is taking some time to make right. Tomorrow I will get more of a chance to fiddle J
The daily weather report for today was cold...A chilly 16C {61F} cold! I think Winter has finally arrived.
We are leaving early in the morning to head home. It always feels good to pull into our driveway to familiar surroundings and to sleep in my own bed again. City life just is not for me, all the busyness does my head in.
See you soon,

So glad to hear about your health news, Tania. How exciting to be able to travel again. You have such a healthy lifestyle; I'm not surprised you healed so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true Stephenie, I didn't even think about my lifestyle and the quick recovery time, it goes to show the benefits of living a healthy life.

Glad everything is okay it must be a relief for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy xx
DeleteCongratulations on the all clear.
ReplyDeleteYes it’s great to go home
It’s very cold here. 16 would be lovely right about now
We have arrived home to a chilly 14C. The house was so cold, so the first job before anything else was to light the fire! Nice and toasty in here now :)

what brilliant news <3
ReplyDeleteIt is Sue. I was so surprised to receive such great news xx
DeleteI'm guessing, it was blood clots - or something related. Sorry if I've forgotten. I remember your husband had health issues, that required returning to a more vegetarian diet. No doubt, it had added benefits for you too. I'm glad you're fighting fit again. It's always great to hear things have returned to normal.
ReplyDeleteI go a bit stir-crazy, when I cannot exercise. Activity, is my meditation time. So empathise with your relief, that you're not restricted any more. Nice harvest of veg in your basket. Something to look forward to returning home to. I'm not a city fan, when we have to go either. Too much to process, too quickly. But sometimes, there are necessary reasons to go. Enjoy your new found freedom at home, and in your own skin. :)
Hi there Chris,
DeleteI posted a couple of days ago about my leg treatment for varicose veins. It was expected to take four appointments and six months of healing, but the doctor was very pleased with my progress so no more treatments.
Being restricted was driving me crazy, and anxiety was setting in, so now I can relax and return to normal and that is making me feel so much better already.

Yay! Good news! I hope you have a great day, and feel free again to do what you want to do
ReplyDeleteYep, I am feeling great already. I will take it easy for a few days before getting back to activities.

So glad for the great report, Tania. There is no place like home and our own little beddy-bye, for sure!
ReplyDeleteHugs from your friend in San Diego, Mary
Thank you so much Mary xx
DeleteGlad to hear, and able to travel again thats good.....
ReplyDeleteYes it is good news Mandy. Sorry to hear about your mishap and how it has slowed you down instantly. Hope you can find way to fill your days without going crazy.

Pleased you are back on your feet with an all clear from the doctor. Laughing at your mention of the "chilly" day as it's been 10C here in the day and -1 on a couple of nights! Mind you, it is always chilly if you can't exercise much so hoping you can exercise yourself warm again soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Robyn.
DeleteI feel the cold, it would be no good me living where you are, I would never set foot outside lol!
