My mom

[finnmom]

My mom has had a sore point in her leg, just below knee, yesterday she told about it to me and I told her to go to the doctor because it worried me...

Today my mom called me, she had had an appointment and the doctor thought, as I did too, that it might be a bloodclot(sp?) or thrombosis , so she´ll have an ultrasound tomorrow to find out exactly what it is

Mom sounded to be in a good mood, told me about the doctor, how he wasn´t worried but wanted to be sure and all.... but I know she´ll worry, I hope she can sleep a bit this night, I know she cant sleep when she worries..

I know that if it is a thrombosis, it´s easy to fix, but.... I hate it when there is something wrong with my parent´s

So, if you have spare time, mayby you could give her(and me) a thought or two...

oh my marja, i am so sorry to hear this. even tho i know that it is treatable, it is so scary to have health concerns with our parents. i am sending you many, many, many gigantic hugs for both you and your mom
i will definitely be thinking of you both and you will be in the front of my thoughts.

Thank you ladies...mom promised to call me when she get´s the result´s from the ultrasound... waiting is the killer in here

[camismom]

Marja, you need not even ask me! You have helped me through so many, many times with my mom's health matters so it is time for me to return the favor! I will indeed say a prayer for you and your mom and I will keep you in my thoughts! I know all too well what you are going through right now. You'll have to tell me though what thrombosis is..I'm not familiar with that...but I am glad to hear it's treatable. At any rate I know like you said treatable or not we hate to see our parents have to go through it.

Take care my friend! I'm here if you need me!

Oh Marja a BIG BIG HUG to you and your Mom!

They don't call this the "sandwich generation" for nothing!! ... We are wedged in that middle ground between worrying about our kids and worrying about our parents!! ...

This time it is your Mum's turn !!

Keep us posted and thankfully she went along as instructed (by her daughter!) and got it CHECKED OUT EARLY!! ...

:-XMy friend....I am sure everything will be fine Nice to hear you care soo much for your mom....It says a lot about you

[SKay]

my thoughts are with you

[finnmom]

Thank you all you´re so sweet... mom is just on the way to get that ultrasceck done, so i dont know anything yet, but she promised to call me immediately when she get´s out...finger´s grossed for this to be something really minor...

Christy, it´s basicly a clot of blood that´s blocking the vein so blood is not able to run that way anymore( a bit hard to explain this in english..) It´s usually pretty harmles, although very painfull, but... some deep blootclut´s can start moving and go straight to heart and cause an heart attact, so those need to be taken care of.

oh Marja! I'm SOOOO happy to hear that!

I KNOW that has got to be such a relief to hear!

and hey Anne, I have never quite hear that sandwich theory before, but man, it is so true! I'm tired of being sandwich though!!!

[Kaiti]

Oh I am so glad to hear everything is OK,

Um, trying to think of the term in English. Is it like compartment syndrome? Where there is a briuse and the blood won't flow threw, so they have to operate and cut out part f the muscle?

[Linda]

Marja that is great news....also your mom is lucky she has a daughter that is a nurse

[finnmom]

She was so reliefed too, She said nothing yesterday but I kow the possible surgery just scared her but luckily it´s just an inflammation in the muscle that got some liquid there.

Linda, mayby they are lucky to have a dd a nurse, but very often they just ask me to look at somthing and when I tell them to go to doctor thay look at me like... yeah, sure we do....
