I've been moved from ICU to a surgical ward. I assume this means I'm on my way out of the hospital. I've been saying that walking even a few tens of feet is exciting. I don't think anyone is catching the irony, even when I clarify by saying it is like preparing for a marathon, except if I don't prepare, and run said marathon I possibly die.
Here's a question for the medically minded out there, have any of you heard of using leaches for clot (bruise) reduction? It seems to me in my past reading that they (leaches) were being used in amputation, and certain reconstructive surgery. It seems to me that if such uses are in fact in operation I might find someone who would know if the remaining clot in my leg can be reduced by that method.
