Re: Me again..my face is still swollen..hard blood clot
Ellie yes but also simply being given a serious nurse talk about it a leaflet and looking for symptoms, My eye had been puffy for wekks, I was wondering if because my puppy was sleeping in my bed, If I only new it was a symptoms, the clot could have been addressed then then i noticed my cheeck I was wondering if I was not putting on weight but the scale was the same.. I remember asking (too really nice) friends who did not think my cheek looked weird, and another humm maybe a little bit.. That was few weeks ago.. then the trial..
A talk ad a leaflet of the danger would have changed things for me I think.
Anyway no point looking at it now but really..
It should be this Wednesday
