I guess I didn't know you had a lump in your leg.  Does it hurt or just sitting there?  How big?  Well, I would go with you if I lived just a few hours closer.  Prayers going south......

Your not going to believe this,  Epoman was right (if you all read my dream i had about Epoman telling me i had a clot in my let)  It is a Clot, but doc says because it is in a superficial vein ???  that it is nothing to worry about,  it is infected under my skin and if it continues to grow or i get any other symptoms such as chills, fever, sweats that i should go in right away, but he says i should be ok (SHOULD) ?? WTF?  :p  He gave me antibiotics to take for the next 10 days and he wants to see me back.  To think, i wasnt even worried about this lump until i had that dream.  Epoman is looking out for us, I Miss you Boss!! and thank you  :cuddle;

Thank you all for being there with me, sorry there was standing room only but how else was i going to fit you all in ;)  Love to you all  :grouphug;

I have one of those vein bumps in my leg too.  They are caused by HPB and can develop into varicose veins.  My doc told me the best way to prevent them is to keep my blood pressure down and exercise.  You can only feel mine now, but apparently it's not too difficult to remove it if it gets worse.

Just be careful Chicken Little,  mine got large and red, didnt know what the hell could've been happening to me now, but thank God for Epoman ;)

Susie you are probably "sitting" at the computer too long at one shot.  Make yourself get up every 1/2 hour or so and walk.

Omygosh girl, hope you are feeling better... Did they tell you to put heat on it and to keep your leg elevated? Maybe I need to send you some homemade goodies to make you feel better.. ;)

Take care of yourself

Nope, he didnt tell me anything like that, just told me if i had started getting any symptoms (fever, chills, sweats)  to go in A.S.A.P.  oh, and he did also say that if i had any friends who could bake me some goodies, that might be the best medicine :P  ::)

 OK OK, so he didnt say that, sheeeesh, didnt hurt to try  ;)

I am glad that your lump is going down.  I have been worried about you too.  I am just not so good at finding threads until they have been posted awhile.  *sighing*  I guess sending my love late is better than not sending it at all!   You just continue to get better and take care of yourself!!!!  Ya hear me sista!

love always,
