Not so good morning/evening,
As I got ready for bed foot felt numb and tingly looked at it with out a sock and toes up to midways of calf were swollen but no pain, blood clots run in the family so I panicked went to urgent care location that that was open till midnight got there at 10:30 pm no wait but doc said I needed to go to ER and get a sonogram on leg but urgent care does not have one she called the closest hospital ER they said that department closes at 9:00pm. went to the hospital ER closest to home it was 12:00 midnight and was there 13 hours before a doctor even looked at my foot and leg. The sonogram showed no clots or any other obstructions but foot looked like it was about to pop. No injuries or other apparent cause for swelling and was discharged 3:30ish and got home around 4:00pm swelling has gone down a bit. Waiting room was full of unhappy campers the person ahead of me was there from 7:00pm and was still there when I left. I think I will go laydown and elevate my foot and hope it is good enough to go to work at noon shift Saturday.
