Podiatrist Visit

Annual check up. The podiatrist checked my out and worked on my ingrown nail on the right foot's big toe. He gave me a prescription for some anti-fungal nail polish for it. Very new. First time a topical nail fungus remedy has been on the market.

Knee Replacement Follow Up Exam

Saw the knee surgeon. He took new x-rays and looked them over. He told me the progress was excellent and he wants to see me in a year.

I mentioned the DVT and the vague test results reported by the specialist and his staff. And no mention of any prognoisis.

Perhaps he gave the specialist a call because as soon as I got home there was a call from the vascular surgeon's office. The nurse told me whoever called me on Monday must have forgotten to tell me everything. She read me a list of things to do regarding, what is now apparently, my Post Thrombotic Syndrome. Basically I need to "wear the compression stocking" when I am active and elevate the leg when in bed.

Vasculat Test Follow Up

The vascular doctor's nurse calls to tell me my leg is fine. I ask if it's fine then why does it hurt?

At the Specialist's Office

This time I get some tests, on both legs. The tech says nothing appears to be seriously wrong. But the doctor will make the final decision on that. I meet briefly with the doctor. He is vague. Tells me he will send a report to my MD in a few days.

I must return for more ultra sounds tomorrow and on Friday.
