I must have gone down with a bit of a bang as my forearms (and leg) still bear the scars, so thinks was fairly deep, I do not remember reaching the bottom as I could not push myself back out, although I was panicking a bit by then. Simon lifted my leg out behind me by compressing muscles. I still do not have an appointment for a scan which is a huge annoyance and also pretty scary if I think about it too much. GP is giving me 3 days worth of anticoagulant at a time so I will run out again tomorrow, a Saturday, so not sure I will be able to obtain another immediately. ho hum. (The NHS target for GP referral investigations is 6 weeks!) Ideas as to appropriate timescale therefore appear to be a bit at odds and I am piggy in the middle.
