One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?
He must really be a nerd.'
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I...

I just got a notification from one of four organizations that have sent me notices that they're paying Medicare claims for me. Apparently my stay up at the hospital in Las Vegas cost SOMEBODY over $148,000!!!!!!!! That's above and beyond over a dozen doctors and laboratiories that I have *NO* idea who they were or what they did, or never met with, but they filed for and got pa... -

I'd had a busy and tiring day that - as soon as I got the chance - put me into snooze mode. My friends know if I go to sleep on the couch, that's it, my bod is here but no one is in there. Some people say if Armageddon happened I would wake up and wonder where'd everybody go?
Anyway, after about an hour, I woke up just enough for one of the characters in the movie they were... -

It was mealtime during an airline flight. 'Would you like dinner?' the flight attendant asked John, seated in front. 'What are my choices?' John asked.
'Yes or no,' she replied.

So, I totally went to the hospital today and requested my records and copies of my scans...just because I wanted to look at them :) Was actually able to SEE my CTA chest scan on my computer at home.

Ok, I just need to brag:
My INR has been between 2-3 since June 29th. I've been testing every 30 days ever since.
I would have never thought I could achieve this considering the many months it took to get therapuetic, the constant testing every week or two and even sometimes every 3-4 days and the ever changing warfarin dosages for the last year and a ha...8 Comments -

So, I feel awfully alone in my little head. Understandably, no one else is in my head, so of course I'm gonna feel "awfully alone." It's just that I feel an emotional break-down coming that's long overdue...and there's no one in my life who I feel can understand the depths of my depression and misery over recent health issues (ie DVT and PE).

Life continues to be crazy and I am still trudging along, trying to make it happen. Weight loss has been steady and I am always blessed to see the scale continue to go down and not up. I recently got a teaching position at a local college which is a blessing that I never thought would happen. But, here I am, still standing, still trucking along.1 Comment -

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Information
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It commonly affects the leg veins, such as the femoral vein or the popliteal vein or the deep veins of the pelvis. Occasionally the veins of the arm are affected (known as Paget-Schrötter disease). Thrombophlebitis is the more general class of pathologies of this kind.
