Going back to the surgeon next week -- again. Nothing major, just a recurrent problem caused by Eliquis. But at least the pain will stop for a while. :)

@Penny No worried. Thank you. It's just a recurrent hematoma caused by my blood thinners. The surgeon basically just sticks a scalpel into it and lets the blood out. Takes like fie minutes, but it can get really painful if not seen to. Unfortunately I have to have the blood thinners. My heart doctor essentially said, "You have a choice, have a stroke or have a hematoma; I'd opt for the hematoma." LOL
