    Hi Joyce, I hope this hug finds you well and happy.

    I appreciate the hug, life-line, and words of encouragement. And I'll keep you in mind when the big breakdown hits...Thanks!!

    Gosh Joyce! Hope you are feeling better soon. These Dr.s need their heads examined don't they? Careful of choking when using the lidocane. My dads Dr. told him not to eat for at least an hour after taking it because it numbs the throat and you can easily inhale your food because your body doesn't know. Hang in there and hope your INR goes back up sooner rather than later. Take care and I wish for better days ahead for you.

    Haven't seen you for a while, I hope all is ok for you.

    Thank you. I had a urine test culture come back showing some rare blood cell clusters (Urothelial cells). Test was negative for high grade cancer but because of these cell clusters, my doctor is referring me to a Urologist and has ordered for me to have a CT done. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard.

    Oh that's such great news! Yeah, it means you have to really stay on top of things, but whew, not the big C! I am so relieved for you. You don't need any more stuff in your life right now, that's for sure. Really a bummer about the INR going up and down so unpredictibly. Have you considered getting a home test system? I am currently working with my Dr. to get one. I am insured through Aetna, so they will pay for the unit and test strips, as long as I don't test more than once/week. Then I will be on my own (cost of a test strip is around $20.00 so I am sure there will be times when I want to check more ofter, small price to pay for keeping down the anxiety levels). Waiting for 2 weeks should not be an option. I am also insured with Kaiser and can go to the lab and get tested any time with nothing required from the Dr. in advance. I am hoping you can do the same. Don't ever apologize for venting either. I learn so much from you and am constantly inspired with your entries. Today I am walking away with your wise verse about things that don't kill you, only make you stronger. Take care and hope the INR stuff settles down quickly. I am looking forward to hearing about the ATV trip this weekend!

    Sore butt, but happy soul! Wonder if the extra excercise influences the INR. Do you self test and self dose, or do you belong to a clinical testing lab that suggests your dosing? Keep us posted on the breast mass. Hope it is nothing to be concerned about. Don't start smoking yet! :)

    As always, was just thinking of my DS friends and you are one imparticular I often think where are you at. This weeks it seems you need some TLC.

    There you go! Life is much better this week. Glad you were able to get away to the wild. Just like kids, there is something rejuvinating getting out into the woods. Glad to hear you made it. Take care and let me know how the ATV'ing goes. Rich
