Hello From Rockville
This was another day of surprises. When I got to the VA I was told Harlan was in x-ray and I should go there as the girl that had taken him would be leaving in a half hour. This was at two. I went over to x-ray and we sat there until 4 when they took him in. I asked if I could go in with him and explained that I can help keep him calm but they said there just was not enough room for me so I waited, about half an hour after they took him in they came and got me but I was only allowed inside the door not over by him, he was not a "Happy Camper". Long story short, they needed to check his leg for clots and they did an ultra sound not an x-ray. They found he has a cyst on his leg below the knee and a blood clot above the knee, they feel it's a superficial clot not a deep vein thrombosis so not real serious at this time and because of the bleeds he has had it is difficult to treat him in a normal way, they may add an aspirin every other day. While I'm there I'll try and get him to let me put heat on it, they said he wouldn't let them do it earlier today.
Tomorrow I am going to the Cities for a funeral, Sunquists are going and Jordans and I will ride along. I could not go if I didn't have a ride.
I'll stop to see Harlan when I get back in the afternoon.
Take care everyone until tomorrow when I'll write again........Fran
