@YvetteColomb Oh, dear... Tings don't resolve nearly quickly enough. Just out of curiosity, are you "milking" your lower leg? Though the scleroderma would decrease this effect by a bit.

I had a DVT after my first surgery for my broken leg, even though I was on Lovenox (low molecular weight heparin), and though I was afraid to do it (I was afraid of breaking off a chunk and giving myself a PE), I would elevate my leg and gently stroke the valk (the best way I can describe this is "milking it"), which I think is a reasonable terminology, as we do "milk" the lymphatics).

It resolved in a few days (and to do it was painful). But

Maybe it wasn't so dumb after all.

This isn't medical advice, but maybe something to ask your doctor about?

@AllisonC He is adorable, even when he's awake. But he is such a puppy! Always on the go, always wanting entertainment, and by far the most curious dog I've ever had. Which, combined with his intense desire to chew things until they are in time pieces, makes it impossible for me to turn my back on him for a minute unless he's in his kennel. (Which he is right now.)

@Henders His official name is Isaac, which means laughter in Hebrew, because he makes me laugh so much. But I call him Izzy. :)

He resembles a German Short Haired Pointer, but the wrong color. I was hoping he would inherit the Coonhound's bark, but no such luck! (Someone in the neighborhood had a coonhound, and I love the sound they make.)

Awww that's a nice name :)

Eliza's bark is so tiny haha
