Clinical narrative: She got her vaccine, she came home lives about 7 minutes from the high school.  Rested for about 4 hours, went to  store and when she got in the store she felt a pulling in her left leg, and it started from the knee down.  She was in the back of store and felt her knee leave her like she was going down on the left side . She panicked, paid for her things and rushed home and called to the person she lives with.  She broke out into cold sweats and held the grocery car to the way to the car and told them that shey did feel well and that she was going down to the ground.  Out of no where this happened.  She felt a little weak once she got in the store.  She went home and she laid down until that evening.  She felt OK later on that night and took it easy that weekend, and it startled her because of the shot.  Days or a week later she heard on the new about cancelling the shot.  At that time she was going into the doctor she was terrified to go into the office if she was well.  She remembers calling her doctor, but she told him that she wanted him to be aware, but afraid to leave her area, but if it got worse she would definitely come in.  A few weeks later she started developing a bruise, no fever or anything like that.  She do has muscle spasms, but the bruising, and ever since then she has been getting unexplained bruising.  She is on blood thinners, and the bruising was worsening.  She went to the doctor in June by the time she got the appointment.  She was told to go to the ER if she needed to before her appointment.  She had bruising on the arch of her left foot itself and also on the inside of her calf.  She showed the doctor and his assistant at the time and she took her shoe off and showed them.  The first thing the doctor said was that maybe she hit herself, but she told him that she would have told him that, but that the bruise has been there and the area on her leg had been developing, but felt the discomfort.  Her leg felt very weak, but did not make a bit thing out of it as she was being scheduled for a sonogram of her leg.  She got the sonogram and they only looked at the vein and they said that everything was fine on that.  She asked how could it be fine, and it didn't show anything and found it hard to believe. She still complained of the pain to the neurologist and her headaches were very bad, and they were trying to figure out what to do.  She was then put on Emgality in November of 2021.  She kept pursuing the migraines as they were getting really really bad.  She had blood work in July and she had lost 11# within the 7 day period.  She had proof of the amount of pain because she had been throwing up for about 10-15 minutes already for almost 35 hours . Finally she was able to get into the hospital and proof of this.  Her neurologist at the same office with her PCP.  She then was started on Emgality and put on an IV right away and told her that time that if she ever went through this again to bypass the ER and let him know and let him know that she was coming into the hospital due to the severe dehydration that she suffered.  She had to get the medicine approved with the insurance and started it in October.  She was taking Ketorolac by her PCP with Benadryl and a multivitamin and a probiotic, this seemed to have helped her migraines.  She was given a concoction in the ER but whatever they were given her, Dr. said that was the closest regimen to help her at home for the migraines.    On 2/15/22 she went to the ER due to her leg being "frozen", ice cold left leg, the entire left leg.  She went to Hospital.  She had multiple doctors come and could not find a pulse.  They decided to transfer her to another facility and that was Main hospital.  She was then taken to surgery on 2/16/22 where they performed an open thrombectomy of left lower popliteal artery and tibial artery.  They were able to remove the clot and had a stent placed, as well as a balloon angioplasty of the popliteal artery.  Preop diagnosis was popliteal thrombosis.  She spent 10 days in ICU there and was fine for 6 days and was exposed to COVID 19 that she overheard from the nurses.  She had never left her bedside other to go to the restroom, and helped most of the time by people that we were wearing masks.  She was then removed from that room and was in a room that she shared with another women.  The last 4 days she was put into a room after being removed for COVID exposure claim and was very startled by this.  She did not know where was at in the hospital .  She was very unsafe in that room, treated like "cattle", given raw food, given a toilet that was not private.  She was then sent home on day 10 at 5:30 PM and her nurse had refused her meals.  On 2/25/22 she was transferred to rehabilitation hospital.    She spent 6 days there at the Rehab center which she elected to do as she has stairs in her home and is alone most of the time during the day and did not feel comfortable going home as her bathroom is on the 2nd floor.  He had no choice to come home as she was sicn for 4/6 days while she was there.  She arrived on a Friday evening and on Monday she was to start therapy sessions, but had no rehab over the weekend.  She was supposed to be there for 2 weeks, and was treated like she had COVID 19.  She became very emotionally and physically ill as she had a severe migraine and threw up the entire time she was there.  She did not have COVID 19.  She was not aware that she was treated as she had COVID and that they treated anywhere there.  Her family came to visit her but they stopped them rom seeing her and was just dropped her clothes off and left.  This treatment caused her to be mentally, physically sick and made it her business to get home to rest.  She was left unattended for 18 hours with nobody checking on her, throwing up nonstop and bleeding out of her ears, and asked for Q-tips and they gave her a box of Q-tips and nobody checked on her . Just a very bad experience and decided to just go home.    She left on 3/3/22 to go home after being seen by the case manager and was told that she was given paperwork which a packet of hand-written information.  Nurse told her that when she went home she would be doing outside care for her therapy needs, and gave her some paperwork.  When she got home they had changed her PCP and saw her on 3/8/22.  She told her that she was her new doctor, she didn't know why she had her doctor changed, did not feel comfortable in her care.  She did on that day give her a lot of referrals and had changed her dressing as she had a ace bandage on it.  She fainted 2 days after she got home, and had some oozing from her incision, so the nurse changed her dressing.  She was also ordered labs for blood work.  She requested that she see her former PCP, Dr.  She had no PT set up when she came home, had to get a lot of adminstrators to get involved and nothing was explained about her care.  She was home for almost a month before beginning any physical therapy for her leg.   She did have therapy and is no longer in therapy and ended it on 6/20/22.  She is can walk on her leg, has a lot of burning in her foot, she feels very off-balance, and feels like she is walking on rocks or a bad of potatoes under her feet from the nerve damage.
