A least one clot in the leg, and several in the lungs. She's in ICU on blood thinners. She's feeling better with every passing moment, and the risk of sudden death is steadily decreasing - which is nice.

Kids hey? Who'd have 'em? Even when they're adults. And not yours. They take years off your life!

She's in pretty good spirits. Her baby (8 weeks old now) is with her. She is scheduled for a CT scan at 3pm today.

Hope she will be fine!

Ah sorry to hear that - best wishes for a speedy recovery

It is, and to be fair, the doc did do an x-ray and there was then no evidence of a clot.

If she had to stay in for a while, it's five minutes drive from where I live. Twenty minutes for my son.

Lend him your car!

On a serious note, hope she's Ok.

Thanks. They now suspect a pulmonary embolism. So she's in the right place.

So far diagnoses were :
Trapped nerve in ribs
Flu

Funnily enough, PE matches both. But medicine is still much more an art than a science.

An Emergency Medicine doctor I work with described it as a differential diagnosis decision tree.

Wishing her the best, matey.

Kung Flu?

Watch it, she can put an arrow in a fly's eye at one hundred yards, from a galloping horse.

I told my son it was a rectal test and we all had to stick our arses out the car window and get a swab.

2 hours of "daddy is only joking".

Then he gets a pipe cleaner battered up his nose.

[AtW]

how come to test for Covid they have to stick a swab through your nose to the back of your throat while alledgedly a single droplet can infect an entire village? Load of bollocks to me

You are talking through your arse - better pray you don't get any symptoms, because your test is going to be extra painful.

Turns out the week previously, my daughter's oriental archery tutors had it. Which means my daughter is a superspreader (symptomless) . At least this flu doesn't kill.
