It started yesterday with a sharp pain in my right calf. I could hardly walk. Came home after church and plopped in the recliner. When I did get up, the pain came back. This morning I called my doctor's office, and they were so busy that they referred me to Urgent Care. So I went there and spent an hour waiting to be seen. They thought I might have a blood clot in the leg, so they sent me to a vascular specialist to have it checked out. It's a long walk in the hospital where he is so I valet parked and rode a wheelchair to his office. As an aside, the valet parking is free, provided by the hospital, and the workers who take you where you need to go are also. Allen hospital is a great hospital. Anyway, I waited about an hour and a half to be seen. To be fair, I arrived about 45 minutes early, so my real wait time was only 45 minutes. They did the sonograms on my leg, and much to my relief they didn't find a clot. What they did find was a Baker's cyst behind my knee. I'll have to research it on the internet, but if it has been causing my problems with walking, I can have it drained. I'll know more after I do the research. So I got home around 3pm, did a few things and watched some TV.
Boy was it hot today. We hit 103, tying a record from 1901. When I got back to my truck, it was boiling hot inside. I couldn't even touch the steering wheel. Fortunately I had a pair of gloves in the truck and I used them to buckle my seat belt and drive home. The air conditioner struggled to even cool the truck cab down by the time I reached home.
