I feel like my life is wrecked.

I recently got diagnosed with a DVT in my left calf. a fantastic deep venous thrombosis. there's a story in my blog about it.

there is a very real possiblity my leg and foot may never stop hurting or work right ever again. I can't walk without limping. standing to fold clothes is more time consuming than going to the gym used to be. and sleeping? hah.

I don't know what to do. I feel like crap about it. generally I eat healthy, am a decent weight, and would go to the gym a few times a week. oh, and I'm only 23. I'm having a hard time grasping that I might not be able to go on a normal walk ever again.

has anyone ever had a DVT that they recovered from? did it take you a while? doctor #1 said "it will get better when it gets better" and #2 gave me a very awkward "these things sometimes take a long time". *headdesk*

Enjoy each day of life, I know that it is difficult not to feel down escpecially when it applies to your way of living, but you can not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow has problems of it is own. I have never been diagnosed with DVT and would like to know more about it. You used words like might not, and possibility, meaning that it may never get worse and can get better in two weeks. Things could be worse, you could not have legs. I met a guy the other day who was paralzyed from shoulder to feet and could not feel the pain he was in, the only way he knew that something was wrong was by the swellen. I am not trying to down play your illness, but sometimes we have to thank God for the good, everything is not bad. I do not mean to push religion on you, but talk to God about it. Tell him your concerns and ask him to heal your body. I hope that I did not offend you talking about God, but he is the best person I know and I have to tell people about him.

I hope that you feel better, in no way did I try to make your problem seem small. I hope will be well with you.

Remember, you are a special person, enjoy everyday, live life to the fulliest. Our imperfections does not justify us.
