what a long day...

My husband and I were supposed to go today to look at the proof for our son's marker for the cemetery. I woke up today with a throbbing toothache though AND my husband had a huge purple mark on the front of his leg near his hip. He had not hit it or done anything but his leg has been hurting since the accident in July so I called the doctors office. The doctor was out of the office today so I talked to the nurse and she told us to go to the ER. When we got there the doctor ordered blood work and an ultrasound of his leg. From last night when I went to bed to around 11 today the spot had went from non-existent to about three inches and it was dark purplished. The nurse at our doctor's office and the doctor were both worried about blood clots. The ultrasound and bloodwork all came back normal in fact they said there is no evidence of anything being wrong with his leg at all just a really large dark bruise. I am still worried about it but he will be seen by our primary care dr in a few days. They did a check of his entire leg from the ankle all the way up to his hip and gave him an all clear. Told him to take ibuprofen for the inflamation and pain and put ice on it. I have never seen anything like it in my whole life for a bruise like that to just appear out of nowhere. I talked to my aunt because she is the one who is handling the marker for the grave but she is also a registered nurse and she said it seems really strange to her too.
