Spent all day at hospital yesterday ,having tests ,my trial nurse holding my hand ..bless her heart .we have a thrombosis treatment team ..they were so on the ball.not wasteing a minute to check me out ,I'm now resting with my leg elevated ,it will slowly disperse into my calf ..it's a golf ball behind my knee joint ,because of rheumatoid arthritis in my old joints ,,being on the Majic trial has it's advantages I reckon ......keep twinkling ,,,,,
