Ok, just got call about MRI. The MRI looks like about 20 slices of pork chops (starting at the ankle and moving up to the knee about every 3/4" or so.) Freaky! but really cool to see the technology
There are two huge blood masses in the back of my leg from the muscle tear, size of golfballs. So the options are to do nothing and let the body dissolve them and heal at it's rate. Or they can cut me open, scoop out the masses, stitch me up and hope for the best.
Risk? there is a major vein where the incision would be. There is also a major nerve down that way as well. The consulting doctor actually talked me out of the surgery that the original doctor recommended. He was all in a panic.
Consulting doctor said that if I had some time to take off of work, keep it elevated, take it easy, check in at the end of the week. we should go that route. If it was a painful as friday night, he would also recommend doing the surgery.
So, I'm taking the week off for vacation. Hang out here and do some little projects I've been wanting to do for a while and enjoy the drugs.
maybe even update this hopeless blog.
