No Stint

I woke up crying. That can never be a good sign. I must have heard the Drs. who knows. Well, they could not place the stint in my leg because the left illiac vein was completely occluded (closed, blocked). The stint should have been placed three years ago when I was in the ICU and they were removing the clot. The upside is that I have two smaller veins doing the work for the larger vein and they are healthy and working! I will continue to wear my sexy compression stockings and take blood thinners. I was disappointed. But know I know. I know what I am dealing with and how things really are. I am not wondering about the vein anymore. This just makes me upset that more doctors don't know about MTS. When I was in the ICU in INOVA, they missed it. It happened, I need to move forward.
