day one
hi Lyn thanks for your concern re me Mother.
Actually I not sure what the symtoms were other than extremely swollen. The district nurse seen her first on her normal check ups then nurse was concerned so refered her to the local GP...who gave her an ingestion and did heart tests etc and decided as much as precautionary measure being the distance we need to travel...they wanted her to go in ambulance but good old Felicity can take her. But in the end was all good.

Ahhh yes the swelling, very comon sign of dvt (deep vein thrombosis) but as you have found out there are a few other things that can have the same symptoms. Fortunately for your mum it wasn't a leg clot. That in itself is not the problem, it's if the clot moves to the heart, lung or brain. Ok enough ambo talk now before I put you all to sleep! lol
Thanks for the feedback tho. Sadly I have lost alot of respect for local GPs since doing ambo. I've realised how many times they get it wrong. So good that you had her checked out by the hospital too.
Never be scared to get an ambulance tho, because if something does happen midtrip they can have help right there to attend to the situation, especially if it had of been a clot with the motion on the road could have moved it eslewhere round the body. Of course not a telling off, but I know alot of people don't want to bother the ambulance but we are sitting round waiting for callouts so it's no bother at all!
Ok ok enough already!! lol
