My Primary has set up appointments for a repeat vascular ultrasound and meeting with a Hematologist next week. I had a complex urogynacological surgery in Jan. resulting in the Post Operative Urinary retention and now upper extremity clot. I was worried about peeing—and now worrying about dying. Alternate between fear and feeling numb. Numb is better.

Although DVT’s are a known complication of modern surgeries, it never occurred to me that I would develop one. But that day in the hospital, listening to the vascular surgeon spell out the possibilities, scared me into diligently following his instructions and taking the recommended medicine. Best wishes to you and take care going forward. You will get through this.
