My right leg felt a bit stiff last night. I woke up this morning in a lot of pain. My leg was swollen and hot and there was a lump. I went to A&E and got referred to the DVT clinic (I've had DVT before). They scanned my leg thoroughly with a nice colour ultrasound machine.
The diagnosis: blood clot in a small vein close to the surface. Not immediately dangerous. It'll sort itself out. I just need to take ibuprofen for the pain. Right now I'm in a lot of pain and can't walk very easily. Hopefully that won't last too long and I can go out for a ride at the weekend. At least I've missed the rain today.
I left the house at 8am and was home again by 11am. That's not bad going.
