Catching up on this thread about our friend Mark and low and behold "It's Mark Posting Again!"
Man that is so great to see your avatar again Mark. It's like the Pioneer forum IS this thread with people just waiting and praying to hear from you again. I think the whole AK Community just let out their held breath and everyone can kinda set back now and say, "ya, it's gonna be alright after all. Great your back online and getting better to boot! Ya had us all scared for a while, so don't be doing that again!
Get well soon Mark, a whole darn community is pullin and prayin for ya.
Your friend, Dawoofer.
 
Glad to see you back online Mark. we hope you are back up and rocking soon!

Sooo glad to see your post Mark! Made my day....

Happy to see that you are doing better!
 
Hey Mark,

May all your future days be better then those that came before! You can do it, and slow but steady will get it done! Best wishes and continued good thoughts coming your way!

blood thinners (atrial fibrillation ) interacting badly with physical therapy on legs

i fear for my swollen right leg


ultrasound today.

edit - mark here MUCH later on, I had been put on Warfarin back at the first hospital, and they were having trouble balancing it out (iiac).
The physical therapy folks at the first hospital wanted to get me to stand up. The problem was that they were too enthusiastic and on a vent
I couldn't speak up quick enough about the pain and problems with what they were doing. Not "pain" as in the body doesn't WANT to do this
but rather PAIN as in DAMAGE was being caused. Scream level pain. I was speared by a bed component in the back of the upper thigh just
below the gluteus maximus. If I hadn't been on blood thinners, I would just have had a nasty bruise. As it is my leg swelled up from hip to toes
at least twice it's size, and it was ALL black and blue. AND they didn't notice it right away! Alternating pain and numbness. There was almost NO
"official" recognition of what was happening to my leg, as far as I could tell, EXCEPT:
They didn't like my "blood numbers", I wasn't "bouncing back"... my release to the rehab hospital was delayed at least a day as they did a TRANSFUSION
on me. THAT is something I had been trying to avoid all of my life... THANKS GUYS...

The first "official" recognition of my legs condition was when I was evaluated/inspected in the rehab hospital. That's when I saw my BLACK foot.

Hi Mark,
I and many others will be praying for you today. They are probably doing the ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. In which case the blood thinners are a good thing. Hope all goes well today.
 
Can you imagine a conversation with Mark and the doc's?? " Now Doc, if the stethescope is referenced to ground and the reading here is......?)
 
If 'the machine that goes beep-beep' develops a little bit of distortion, Im sure Mark has a few low noise NPNs in hit kit ready to go....
 
Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm sure Mark loves them so keep 'em coming.

Mark, you have always had my respect. Your knowledge, coupled with how you work with people of all skill levels has certainly set the bar for the rest of us on this board.

Thanks for your time and get well.
