It just gets better

Thanks webmd.com. My wife has deep vein thrombosis. NOT! But because of you, she thought she did and she was at the emergency room last night.
Her knee was swelling up a little and it's been bothering her. She thought she might have a blood clot. It's been bothering a few days. And if you didn't know, she's a worrier. Since it wasn't getting any better, she began to worry and worry.
Then she looked at webmd.com and that sent her over the edge. She headed to the emergency room at around nine and I stayed home with the little one. I thought was being somewhat silly, but you can't put a price on a person's health or peace of mind. Her mom went out with her.
The verdict. You guessed it. Negative. They took did some blood work and there were no clots. However, her blood pressure was skyrocketing so even though she was negative the hospital wouldn't release her until it went down. Her blood pressure is pretty low, but under the circumstances it's not surprising. When all was said and done, she was home close to one in the morning.
