2006 started out as a non-eventful year, health wise that is. My mom had been having some swelling in her ankles that we thought was attributed to arthritis, but after a visit to her doctor, he thought it might have been some type of blockage.
So after a sonogram of her leg, they saw some narrowing of the artery that might be a DVT (deep vein thrombosis), but could not say with 100% certainty. Her doctor decided to take a proactive approach and treat it as such. My mom started on blood thinners in the hopes that it would alleviate the blockage and swelling in the leg.
While she was feeling a little tired and had to keep off her tootsies, things seemed to be going well.
