go to the doctors to check out a lump on my upper arm close to the elbow... and he sends you down for scans and ultra sound... then they send you back up to your doctor who takes you straight back in and tells me i have a large blood clot hindered by a slightly enlarged lymph node and a resident lipoma... 12 viles of blood later then a quick injection in the guts to thin the blood and a pack of asprin and im on my way home...
i have very thick blood and i may be susceptable to deep vein thrombosis (i never knew as the only flying i have done is in cars!!!) and blood tests will show hopefully if im going to be prone to "throwing blood clots" and may show if i have had a stroke... i suffer from what is known as drop foot in my right leg since i was playing footy... but about 5 years ago the left leg has gone the same... maybe the result of an undetected stroke....
a possiblle cause could be from a hard impact in the area - but that hasnt happened so hopefully couple days and the bloods will shed some light on the cause... worst case scenario i wil be on half to one asprin a day till the end!!! and i was still thinking im indestructable
