Since the clot showed up, several different doctors, nurses, radiologists and physical therapists have offered their advice after A, going to medical school many years ago or B, researching the problem online for the latest info, and so I have gotten conflicting recommendations as to how to proceed. Meaning I am now utterly confused and don't know how to proceed.
The one person in my life who would have known exactly what I should do died 16 years ago, and since then I have been on my own, medically speaking. My wonderful uncle and friend, Dr. Melvin L.Keller, could instantly assess any medical condition and determine a course of action. He was magical in that way. Naturally, being so anxious and fearful of dire things happening to me, I had him on speed dial.
Today is his birthday. He loved to say he was born on the only date that was a command: March Forth! If I could have any wish granted, it would be for him to be alive again, young and healthy and funny and smart and loving as he always was. Also, he could tell me if I could go back to CrossFit, or use a rowing machine, or do planks and sit-ups, and all the rest. Short of that, I'd like some doctor who is alive and knows something to tell me what to do next.
