7 Days In

I'm feeling much better today. I have some pain when walking. The top of my thigh that is not covered by compression stockings is finally beginning to bruise. That area is healing at a much slower pace. The spot of my above my knee that I feared was getting red and swollen last night looked great this morning. The slight redness turned into a bruise. Bruises I can handle. Symptoms of blood clots I can not.

I haven't taken any pain medication today. I don't even plan to take any before bed. A can of beer is my only medication today. I think I deserve one after the week I've had.
