The Indignity, the Indignity?

I had an ultrasouind scan the day after the Two Lads:

'Found anything?'

'Yes, clots'

'Ooo twin boys then!'

But they didn't laugh, turns out they'd heard it before.

So blood clots or DVT in my left leg it is. In some ways the symptoms I now read about fit better with what happened at the end of April than the pneumonia/torn calf muscle that was treated; which begs the question - did two different physios massage away a muscle tear or a blood clot? (it can be quite difficult to tell apparently). And did I do the Coledale race with pnuemonia or DVT or both?

So, I'm on Warfarin for six months, probably weekly clinics/possibly compression socks and plenty of talking to people before I do anything. I may or may not return soon to UTUPing when I get a consensus answer to 'Is Borrowdale out of the question then?' but I will obviously have to tread this line carefully in case I talk myself into a lockable jacket, as above - not all these people have a sense of humour.
