Dad's leg pain likely due to a clot in leg.

Dad is doing okay in hospital, but has had trouble with being stir- crazy,  and even claustrophobia.

This afternoon a test result came in that he has a clot in his leg.   So now they do not want him walking at all.   Not even to the bathroom in his room.

They gave Dad some blood thinner.  That should dissolve the clot.

An uncle of Jodi died from a clot in the leg from a car accident.  He was recovering from the accident, when the clot moved to where it killed him.

Dad is aware of the danger of stroke or other issue.
Dad thinks Mom does not understand.
However Mom is worrying that they might send Dad home too soon.

So Mom will still have to have rides to the hospital.
