Yeah, I feel like a small, furry arboreal animal climbing a tree when I get in. And I'm 6', 240 lbs. LOL The leg is slowly recovering. I've been told it'll take a while. The onset of it was so quick, though. And my doc said there's no single one cause for phlebitis - it just happens. I'm still walking even more slowly than normal and not exerting myself. The hard lumps under my skin are clots and one could break off and go to my brain. Mom said if it weren't for my platelet count, they'd have probably admitted me and put me on a heparin IV drip, so I guess I'm seeing an unintended benefit of having a blood disorder. The doc phoned in another round of Cephalexin and sulfasalazinefor me, I ran out yesterday and have to wait until tomorrow to get one of them refilled (I guess the whole COVID thing is preventing the pharmacy from doing Sunday refills?). I called in Wednesday, but my doc's admin staff are so abhorrent, he apparently didn't get the message until Friday afternoon, and even then his admin screwed up what to refill first.
