The last week has been very trying, but it gets better as it goes on.  I was diagnosed on October 24th.  Luckily, so far, I only needed self-injections of Lovenox for less than a week after leaving the hospital.  They are still fiddling with my dosage of coumadin.  I think it will be awhile until my INR is regulated.  I need to work on eating a more consistent diet, and I fo enjoy a glass or two of wine on the weekends.  Thankfully, I don't smoke, or I'd feel worse.  I am still somewhat short of breath, and my lungs still have pain.  I go back to work on Friday.  We shall see how well I handle that.  Hopefully, I will just be standing at a door checking badges.

I'm trying to play catch-up in school.  I'm a 31 year old single mom who goes to school full-time.  Last semester I had severe gall stones and pancreatitis, and had my gall bladder removed.  I think that due to my health issues as of late my teachers have written me off as some kind of failure.  I just have to keep fighting.
