    yes unfortunateley i am not expecting good news.

    peripheral vascular disease is suspected. partly hereditary as thats what killed my dad and it wasnt nice,basically his arteries clogged up from his toes bit by bit up his legs until they cut off blood supply to major organs, the last 3 months of his life he was bedbound in agony ending up with an open morphene drip. debateable as to wether the morphene or the disease got him.

    due a phone appointment on friday to discuss blood results from last week high cholesterol etc so i expect they will add to the statins to try and bring it down but if the doplar shows clogging then some surgery may be needed. none of which looks fun. if it progresses i could end up having bits lopped off.
