Hi there Carl… how are you.. ‘pearly gate’ very creative and funny π
I got a reply from another blogger doctor:
The blogger must have undergone cardiac bypass graft surgery (CABG). There are certain post-operative complications like DVT (deep vein thrombosis) which can cause the swelling.But you have said that itβs been like this for six years! Ofcourse itβs not normal.He needs to get evaluated further. It may be due to impairment of veins,incompetence of valves (varicose veins)β¦.filariasis ( though i feel there are less chances of this) etc. It can be concluded only after a clinical examination of the patient where we will have o see the degree of swelling,temperature,tenderness etc. A doppler study has to be done. We will have to know if the swelling is painful or not, if there are any other associated symptoms,any diurnal variation, any relation to walking too much. I suggest that the patient should definitely not ignore this and get himself re-evaluated either with his cardiologist or see a good surgeon. I hope this is helpful.
So are you saying the gates of heaven are no more pearly, or have pearls, than our pearly white teeth? Sigh. I was hoping I could “pinch” me a few upon arrival.
I don’t know what happened, Carl, but your comments went directly to the Spammed folder. I first pulled them out of the Spammed folder and then approved all 3. Then, I eliminated the duplicate comment. My comments file is set up to have all comments approved first before they’re posted. Don’t know what happened. Thanks for your persistence. I’d love to hear your reaction to my story. Please try again.

Hmm…I doubt they’ll get away with stealing pearls from the gates. I think there is a trap door that will open in the clouds in 3…2…1.
