Aengus, as PurpleDuck posted on #131, the latest was Friday. When I spoke with him today, he was waiting for the doctor to come in, with an updated date. He was crossing everything that could be crossed that it would still be tomorrow.
For the record, the medication that Grumpy has to take to fix this is a royal pain in the keister to manage. I've had a DVT before, and I was hosptialized six times in 18 months, spent innumerable trips to doctor's offices and ERs, and all kinds of lovely complications such as internal bleeding and a bruised heart. Although it sounds to us like the doctors are giving him the runaround, if it's not done right, he could either, a) form another clot, or b) bleed to death. The slightest thing upsets the medication. For example, eating spinach can negatively affect the balance. Yes, kiddies, Grumpy will actually be able to NOT eat his spinach and get away with it!
All we can do is pray, send pixie dust, mermaids, girl gnomes, or whatever your particular belief system. It sounds to me as though his doctors are handling it right, given what I went through 15 years ago. We will get our Grumpy Gnome back, better than ever!
