Donna, you not only saved my leg but my life!
Donna,
I don't know if you'll remember me, I think you will though. You actually saved my life when you noticed my right foot was cold and purple right before being taken down for a second back surgery. You looked very worried, you thought I might have a blood clot in my leg. I saw your concern and decided to reschedule my surgery until I got cleared by a vascular physician. After many tests, they thought I had a clot and ordered an angiogram. After the Dr. went in, he found my artery was one hundred percent blocked! He tried to go in through my left leg but was unable and had to go in through my right leg and put in two stents. I found out later that it was life-threatening. You not only saved my leg but my life! Please don't ever doubt your intuition, you are used by God, especially that day. Thank you.
