Smed: You need to get a new doctor - right away!!!! Do not wait until
January. Between the blood clots (I assume that was the 'golf ball'..'
and other symptoms, it sounds like your body is going through some type
of episode. I would try and go through your insurance company for an
immediate referal for an emergency visit, or possibly - worse case - go
to another emergency room. In any case, I think you need to take a day
or so off to rest your body. It has been through a tough time, and you
need to get your strength back. I am worried about you!! Please take
care of yourself.
