I'm monitored and my INR is kept around 3.5 which is considered rather high.
My only options at this point is to try stuff at home or check back into the hospital.
The hospital will put me in the ICU and first ultrasound my leg. Then do a CAT scan. Then do a MRI. Then do an angiogram at which time they will put a catheter in my leg and put me on thrombolytic drugs for a few days. Then do another angiogram and at that time also do an angioplasty. Then after a few more days send me home. Then bill my insurance around 120k and send me copay bill for around 15k. Then if I don't figure out a way to pay the 15k within a year put yet another judgement against me.
So in the end I would maybe get leg improvement again for maybe a year or two. Receveive another mega dose of radiation and have to wait another 7.5 years for a new judgment to fall off my credit report.
But on the plus side the republicans are doing everything they can to block Obamacare since our present medical system is so fucking perfect.
