The rug is brand new, but I guess I could pull part of it up by having a pro cut it. Hate to though. The wheel chair is for my wife. We are both over 80 seniors. Her clots just occurred a few weeks ago, She had full knee replacement surgery in November. Have to feel there is a relationship 'tween that and the clots. She is under doctor care from both family doc and her surgeon. She is taking Cumedin (?spelling?). She is under immense pain and can't walk hardly at all. Poor gal is really struggling simply moving around. Life is getting tough around here, Duke Clots are a common problem with knee replacement surgery. Since the clots are new the coumadin should resolve them. I had a more serious clotting problem and had to have them surgically removed. I've been on coumadin 10 years and also have a clot filter. Whoa, there's a clot filter? I'll have to investigate that and incorporate it into my website. Thanks. Steve Yes. Google it up. Filter is inserted in groin and deployed in inferior vena cava just below where kidneys dump in. It opens like an umbrella and has little feet to secure it to the vein wall. The ribs are twisted and if a clot leaves the leg it gets tangled in the filter where it gradually dissolves. Massive clotting could clog it up but if this happens and clots reach your lungs, you're a goner. Pulmonary emboli are a major cause of death. I thought it was permanent but they can remove it. Filter would not help with clots that form in the heart. I guess they could put filters in other veins. |
