I am a bit late posting tonight because we have both had a day of medical appointments. Mine was just a telephone consultation but David had pain in his leg again and worried it was another DVT. His doctor gave him a clot busting injection this morning and then he had to have an ultrasound. Hopefully it has dissolved what could have been a clot. We will have to wait and see the results of the ultrasound before we know for sure though.
Thanks so much for your comments and favs on yesterday's camel train photo.
Following on from that photo, here is a triptych taken just after their last camel ride and they are sitting very patiently for their saddles and blankets etc to be removed before they headed for home.
The camels are all very friendly, especially these three. The one in the middle is very pale compared to the others. I hadn't realized before just how the colours differ between each camel.
Apparently, according to the owners Dolly is a racing camel. Luckily she didn't race off across the dunes with a passenger onboard.
Ouch, wishing David well. Hope that ultrasound shows it's gone away. Lots of love.
I like Sid, Dolly and Daisy! And I am still laughing at the idea of Dolly racing off across the dunes with passenger holding on to their hat crying "heeeeeelp!"
Great portraits of this delightful trio. I'm glad Daisy is not racing off with her riders! Wishing David well and hoping the treatment did what it was meant to do.
The pain in David's leg has eased today he says so hopefully the treatment did the trick. The doc will ring some time today. I think David is worried about having to go back on blood thinners again after the last DVT problem. He was on blood thinners for a couple of years and then they decided the clot had reduced but he was left with scarring in the two veins, probably due to scarring that the latest problem has arisen.
He dreads the thought of going back on blood thinners because last time he ended up with a bleed on his brain which was scary.
@happysnaps They do look superior don't they, love them.
@chimfa Hello Jane good to see you back again. I was going to email you to see if you were okay but haven't got round to that one yet. Will fill you in as to what has been happening here soon.
Mum's name was Mary not Dolly. If you look at some of my old family photos posted a few days ago you will see a couple of people you recognise.
@onewing prayers for David! Jerry is on Eliquis blood thinner. It doesn’t have the usual side effects of warfarin. Perhaps David's doctor had hard of it.
@louannwarren Hi Lou Ann. David wasn't taking warfarin he was taking Xarelto I think it is specifically for DVT. I think Eliquis is also used for DVT but tends to be used more for atrial fibrillation and reducing strokes.
@edorreandresen@loweygrace@cupofteajudy The pain in his leg has eased today and it looks as though the clot has been dissolved. Will have to keep an eye on him over the next couple of days though in case it has just moved.

I love camels they always look so superior. David doesn't share my enthusiasm Peter so I don't think you will get him racing on a camel any time soon ha ha.
