- Totally off-topic ...Today is 7-Eleven's birthday so they have free slurpees from 11am to 7pm. For those of us suffering in the high heat, might be worth a run past your local 7-Eleven.I'm embarrassed to admit that this has been on our house...
- Ah ... if only we could all bounce back like this!http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-sn-wimbledon-serena-williams-20120707,0,2529591.story
- I think most folks in the US know about the massive wildfires that have been raging across Colorado and other nearby states. Hundreds of homes have been lost at this point and the fires are still not under control. Happily, the weather has begun to...
- This isn't a problem I have myself, but I just saw an ad for this medication (http://www.lysteda.com/) that deals with heavy periods. Non-hormonal, so it might be a good option for those of you who are getting flooded once a month while on...
- I have a friend whom I've known since high school (more than 20 years now). She is ridiculously intelligent and artistic and often feels like no one can possibly understand how her mind works. When she gets depressed or overwhelmed, she will shut...
- I was reading an article in "Consumer Reports" this past week about dangerous medical devices. The article really focused on artificial hips, surgical mesh, and lap-bands, but they had a sidebar about dangerous cardiac devices. The sidebar had...
- So, went in to see my awesome doc yesterday. I've had a cold with fever and a painful, bad cough since coming back from Vegas last week and wanted to see if we could prevent further damage to my lungs while I get better.There was a medical student...
- Well, I'm two years out from multiple bilateral PEs today. Two years from being misdiagnosed at the minor emergency clinic and sent home. Two years from having to fight to get a CT in the ER. Two years from becoming a warfarin lifer.But, I gotta...
- So it is possible that I have another chapter to add to my warfarin and clot saga ... possible necrosis.For about three weeks, one of my toes on my left foot has been bothering me. Painful to the touch, swollen, and (most recently) bright red with...

- So my doc was out of town last week, so the other doctor in her office and the PA (neither of whom I've met) have been managing my INR. I'm still testing 2-3 times a week since I haven't stabilized since my surgery in November and my Ear, Nose, and...
- So I was on injections a couple weeks ago due to having sinus surgery. Finished them up a week ago today.The worst of the bruises from the injections was probably three inches across and black, it is fading now, which is good. BUT there is also a...
- I'll be in the hospital starting on Wednesday for sinus surgery. Because of my warfarin issues, the surgeon is threatening to keep me in there until my INR is therapeutic again, which (as we all know) may take a while. I'm envisioning being in there...
- I really am exhausted, but it isn't from my PEs (for a change). Seriously, I am just completely worn out from trying to keep up with all my medical stuff. I've been at the pharmacy so many times this week I'm surprised they don't know me by...
