Glad I found this forum. Is there anywhere here to discuss DVT /pulmonary embolism? My husband is struggling with the immobility and with being in pain every day. We are anxious about the future. 
Our son is 16 with ADHD, attachment disorder and behavioural challenges, so life is stressfull

    My son's behaviour. GCSE'S finish on Thursday and he has been out of school since May. They have only attended for exams. He's got too much time in his hands and has outbursts. 
    My husband doesn't know what the future holds for him. He will find out next week how it's affected his heart. He has an open wound on his heel that won't heal up. There are 4 blood clots (calf, thighs and and lung). Having them both at home is proving very difficult with our son's behaviour

    Hi he has twice a day injections, which I do as the district nurses kept failing to turn up. He's under several consultants, orthopedics, respiratory and vascular
