I slept well on our wide couch downstairs since I couldn't get up stairs.

 

Right now it's getting things set up.  The triage nurse couldn't under stand my morning voice and repeatedly interrupted me telling me to call 911 which I don't need. 

I thought she isn't going to get it. 

 

I just got a call from the rehab place telling me to go to the emergency dept to be referred. I'll keep you posted as I deal with this headache.

 

The rehab place has to come evaluate me.

If two different medical professionals told you to go to the ER then go !!!

 

Wishing you the best.

Definitely! A blood clot, swelling of the ankles and not being able to stand all are an emergency situation.

@ECBG. What is your reason for not following the advice of your medical team?

This is a serious situation and needs immediate attention.

@ECBG When it is yourself, recognizing an emergency situation is difficult. I think the emergency room is where you belong. You will be evaluated there, and they can determine where you should be treated. If nothing else, they can most likely expedite your acceptance at the rehab facility. Take care.

@ECBG< Call your Dr's ofc. Can they not offer to assist you? WHY NOT!!!   If you go to ER (i'm in S.C plan on a several hours wait. This is a disgrace.  & also in R.I.) Surely an asst or sec in Dr's  ofc could contact someone to offer you some assistance.Wish I could be of some help to you. Sligo
