Dumo Cell Carcinoma

Enough vague booking, here's the details. Dan's surgery tomorrow is postponed, until at least January 2019. Dan will have to be fully healed and back on blood thinners and stable before the vascular surgeon will want to go ahead with the surgery.  He'll be home Friday, hopefully, and his only job for the next two months is to recuperate in peace and quiet (if Maggie has any say in the matter). Hematoma's take 1-4 weeks to heal, and he's likely on the longer end due to the severity of his. He's currently unable to stand or walk for any length of time. Hematoma's need rest, elevation, icing and compression to heal, so we'll be busy with Netflix and chill with feet raised. This is unfortunate news, and despite this complication and the forewarning of a likely postponing, we weren't ready for a delayed surgery date so far in the future.

After a few days of shrugging doctors finally decided Dan’s issue with his right leg was a hematoma , bleeding inside his leg, likely due to his blood thinners. The hematoma could clear on its own, which takes 3-4 weeks, if the bleeding stops. We're not sure it has, yet. The blood thinner use stopped once they figured out what this was, but now we have to worry about the tumor/clot. If the bleeding hasn't stopped, he might have to endure a Fasciotomy, which I would link to but I just googled it and it just made me throw up in my mouth a little bit, so you'll have to do that yourself. He's also wearing this contraption on his left leg that makes a lot of noise and squeezes his leg with a giant cuff and is supposed to prevent DVT, Deep Vein Thrombosis (blood clots). So. For those doing the math: One leg in this DVT cuff + one leg swollen and in pain x Skeksis roommate = unhappy Dan. ...
