Hi All!!   Well it's been a good week..hey I'm alive tonite to write about it so yeah it's been a good week. Had a few periods where I was kind of freaking but my friend Barb reminded me that for now "I'm cutting onions"..for those of you who don't  get that it means I'm living in the moment. If you'd like to understand more check out this link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbRM2RAjgh0  it's a good video of a young woman with incurable cancer, 

I was wondering this week as the mosiquitoes  came out, since I'm on warfarin and that's basically rat poison I wonder if mosigtoes die after sucking my blood...I hope so!!! 

I found a place in town that would do a coronary calcium score for me for $12o but after talking with my Dr I cancelled the appt. My PCP feels the technology is so new what would we do with the results once we got them, plus they might add to my anxiety over dying. I saw him today because I got bit by a spider on my side and the bite got infected and is getting bigger. It felt good to go to the Dr for something other than Clots and my INR. He prescribed amoxocillin and a antihistimine.

A friend of mine at work, her Dad had DVT's and PE's after having bypass heart surgery and last year and this week they were supposed to implant a defibrilator and a pacemaker but after evaluating him in the hospital they thought he'd developed new clots in his leg and are going to put stents in his leg to help improve his blood flow. They said he might lose his leg...Yikes!!! 

Bought 2 books in the last two weeks. Barack Obama's Audacity of Hope and a book called 23 minutes in Hell. Barack's book is pretty good actually and very eye opening on how Washington works..or should I say doesn't work. The world in which we live scares me, there is no real leadership for this country and it seems everyone is out for themselves.

Going to Port Clinton over the week of the 4th and looking forward to that. It'll be good to get away.
