Day 15
I woke up with less pain but I realized I cannot sleep with the leg straight out.  The minute I stood up the leg started throbbing which was a new sensation. The resting pain is less however.  My new procedure is to wake up and inject myself in the stomach with blood thinner, take my pills and to "take it easy".  I haven't figured out the parameters of taking it easy yet but Im working on it. 
I do need to consider more the feelings of the people around me.  Yes I am the one that is being primarily directly affected but those close to me are going through a lot too.  My fiancée was experiencing a lot of fear yesterday as they were scanning me for pulmonary emboli.  She was trying to be strong and when we found out there were none I needed to consider how that impacted her.  It is easy to become solely self-centered when I am going through the pain and disability but she is dressing me, feeding me, loving me through the hard times.  She has never said "No I don't have time for that".  That is selfless love and I would be better served if I could practice more of that.
This experience if you would call it that, involves a lot more than just the physical effects.  There are a lot of internal struggles, changes, attitude shifts that occur, and as I document what this experience is I am trying to include all of what I am experiencing.  Granted this is based on the personality characteristics of me before and other people may experience it differently. What I have come to find is that there will be some aspects that some people may be able to relate to and know they are not alone.  If that is the case hen at the worse they mat see that x weeks down the road there is also a difference, a change, and it does get better.  You know that academically but once you are in the "heat of the battle" so to speak it is hard for me anyway to have that perspective. 
OK enough of the ramblings.
Sitting does seem to be easier and I am able to tolerate for longer periods of time now. The pain is less now. The mobility except for walking is easier.  Set backs happen but nothing stays the same so it is good just to remember this.  I am ready to try more but have a slight delay due to the leg clot.  That is all it is.  Two weeks ago is history.  The only thing that still bothers me at this point is the fact that the least little hip angle change during hip flexion standing in my walker will produce immediate discomfort that limits me doing this at least the rest of the day.  This is an important movement and I need to be able to regain this.  It has to be the angle, or weight of the leg, because I can do it reclined without a problem assuming I haven't already tweaked it.
My last pain med was taken at 2PM and it is now 8 and yes it does hurt a bit more.  Once during the day I leaned to the side to pick up my dog and heard a pop in my hip which got my attention enough .
My family read my rambling on FaceBook about having to go to the hospital.  I didn't want to keep calling and complaining.  They did all call today and it was good to know they were there.  I took it easy today but I am worried about the hip stiffening up
