If somebody says "operated" you are right !!!!
Finally, it's done. Just got home from the hospital about an hr ago.
Recovery time for Bozzo, I hope I remember how to inject myself...
One LMWH (Low Molecular Weight Heparin) a day for the next 14 days.
Back on Aunty Coags...
The surgery went well, I'm told, I was napping.LOL, that's what I've been doing for the last few days.
Anyways, I'm trying to make sense of it all and make sure it does make sense before I press
"Save Journal Entry"
:P

Just wanted to say "HI".

Yesterday I took the stitches, well the tape off and I went for a mile walk ,felt so goooooooooood to get out of the house, having gorgeous weather helps a lot too. Today, I went for a two mile walk, I plan on hitting the stationary bike on Monday for a couple of days, see how that feels and maybe by next Thursday, I 'll take the bike out on the road, nice and easy... :)

Sunday June 7th/09
I woke up this morning at 2AM with my right cheek (the one on my face) very visible to myself and that is w/o the help of a mirror, yes it was so swollen I could see it and yes I was also in agony Yes an abscess, great at 2AM on a SUNDAY is there a dental clinic that is opened?
So I iced it and I took a couple of pain killers(heck my pharmacy is quite complete in that department lately) and TRIED to go to sleep, ha hahahaha...
What am I becoming, a magnet to whatever can go wrong to me?
Long story short, had the dental appt, have the pen and more pain killers and I have another appt to get a tooth extracted( I don't believe in root canals, great big scam machine...).
So today, the swelling is almost gone, I don't look like a chipmunk with it's cheek stuffed with nuts and all anymore.
I called my hematologist to once again redo my prevetative anticoag post op treatment. Stop the injections until the day after the tooth extraction.
I devised it all and asked her if that was the right thing to do? "Why do you need me? " was her answer. Yes, I devised it correctly, she then asked me if I had any medical training? I laughted...
What's next????

Yikes. My advice to you is to lay low until this black cloud passes over you. Speaking of black clouds, I think there I hear tornado warnings going off in the distance outside my window. Weird spring weather.

I was wondering where you had been... In fact you have not told us. How are things with YOU, as for me, things are on the up&up, starting to do some stationary biking and by this Saturday, I'll probably be hitting the dirt roads of the area. The operation went well (so the Dr says) I was snoozing away, figure. LOL
C'mon tell us about YOU...
