Thanks Jakki,
I still have at least another day. The catheter is out and the drain removal has been authorised after I try walking some more to see if I trigger more bleeding.
I was in to get a popiteal artery replaced (with expanded polythene tube this time. The previous 4 feet were Dacron but the knee requires much more flexibility) I've already had my aorta, iliacs and femorals done because my hEDS makes my vasculature too stretchy, which in itself contraindicates surgery unless it is cat 1 urgent, so definitely not elective. I also have 53 platinum coils in my brain plugging the hole where a subarachnoid aneurysm blew out. I must get airport security to wave a wand over my head to see if I make it ping. I'm already allowed to use the "implants" queue to avoid flouroscopes, so I would probably make a good mule.
