When I woke up Monday morning I was sort of concerned about my right where they had put in a stent to open a blocked artery last Wednesday. It was red, swelling, felt warm, painful and because I am taking 3 blood thinners I wasn't really concerned about a blot clot but ????????????? Took Allen to the airport and asked Rion to come along as I wanted to go to the ER on the way back and I was concerned about driving if they gave me some muscle relaxer, pain killer or antibiotic that may make me drowsy. We got there about 9:30 AM and at 11 AM they put me on a bed in the hallway in the ER section. A little after 12:30 PM they took me for a 10-15 minute ultrasound and said the results should be fairly quick and finally at 1:30 PM I went to the nurses station and asked if they could find out anything and within 10 minutes 'my' nurse handed me a batch of papers--well 11 to exact--and said I was discharged and should see my primary doctor within a week to 10 days--at 2:08 PM (see bottom, right hand corner of photo! The diagnosis was 'puncture wound' followed by a list of home care, mainly the possibility of pain killers or antibiotics and then came the 'kicker'---seek photo below with has "When to seek medical advice" or go to the second sentence in this post!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
