died from a twisted ankle? or complications?
From the resulting clot.
Back in April, I twisted something in the back of my knee...the pain was bad, but it went away. It came back, and I went to the doctor, who advised an ultrasound. They told me, oh, it’s just a few superficial clots, nothing to worry about.
Again the pain went away, but a month later it was back. They tested my blood for clotting and told me to have another ultrasound done right away-—I did, and it showed a blood clot. They slapped me into a wheelchair and rolled me right over to the ER. When it comes to clots, they don’t mess around-—they can break off and go to your lung and kill you. The day before I got diagnosed, I did a really vigorous dance workout-—the activity could have very well made it break off then, but God was with me.
So, I’m on blood thinners for a couple of more months. Right after the diagnosis, I had to give myself shots in the stomach-—”clotbusters.” It’s amazing what you can do when you have to, LOL.
I never had a medical problem before this. I’m thankful it turned out the way it did.
