So my grandma is back in the hospital. Now she has a blood clot in her leg. Last Friday morning I noticed that her right leg was a different color, a little mottled, and more swollen than her left leg. It was still that way Friday afternoon so we took her to the ER and they did an ultrasound and found the clot. It's in the same leg that had the central IV line for the dialysis so we think it's related to that. Its also related to the fact that after they took it out, they didn't get her out of bed for three days. When you don't move around the blood pools and clots. (Read the previous post to see all our complaints about her hospital care) We think this clot is directly related to the lousy care she got during her previous stay. We're writing a letter and going to complain, but no matter what happens to the nurses as far as punishment goes, nothing is going to make up for the fact that she is back in the hospital, and this is another set back on her road to recovery. Not to mention that it totally could have killed her. It just sucks that she is the one suffering for their lousy work ethic, and nothing that they do now will change that.
