@Engteacher I agree 30 days is a very long time ... I did speak with my surgeon and this is the policy. I too have never had a blood clot and would much rather be safe then sorry but I personally think 30 days is extreme.
I don't blame you for being angry. It is your story to tell not your coworkers. In the beginning stages, I only told my immediate family. I have since told a few friends. I am sorry that happened to you.
Thank you so much everyone !!! I am so happy to have this group for help and support ;o) I am on day 3 today and I am doing OK. I think I got this !!!!!
Today is the first day of my liquid diet. My surgery is scheduled 8/17/15. I haven't even made it thru one entire day and I feel like giving up already. I need some good advice please ... Thanks guys !!!
