Hello dear friends,
Sorry for being away from the board yet again. But I have more news. Have the angels been with me ever. I had a dream should I say nighmare the last week of October that The hospital called and opened my chest up again. Saying that I needed to come to the hospital again. I woke up and said ahhhhh and I almost went into to my dad's room to wake him up and tell him about it. The next morning at breakfast I told my mom and dad about it and they laughed and said don't worry nothing like that will happen.
Well I guess you could say it was a psychic premonition. On November 3rd my mom took me in for initial tests that I had scheduled. An echo at 9,a biopsy at 10 and clinic at 11. Well I just had a sense when we went in that I was going to be admitted. I was right. The tech did the echo and they found a blood clot. Therefore they couldn't do the biopsy. I had the clinic. My old doc who was scheduled to do the biopsy couldn't because it was too dangerous and he was the one who told me I was going to be admitted. I told him I had a sense.
So Thursday night I was admitted. The docs really confused me because the floor docs told me an MRI would be scheduled in the morning. I said no sweat. Well next thing I know an anesthesiologist comes in and tells me I am scheduled for surgery the next day and would I please sign a consent form to get the ball rolling. I said no I would not until I talked to the surgeon and other docs. I told her I was not trying to be rude and that just for my own peace of mind I needed to talk to the docs. They came in and explained to me that there was danger of stroke and they wanted to prevent that and would take care of me. All systems were go for the next day. The chaplain came in and he said a prayer and I shed a tear.
So they scooped out the clot next day opened me up. I am more sore then the last surgery. The docs said it was as if I was hit by a truck. They aren't sure what caused the clot. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. So the docs were worried about clotting with my necon but I had only taken those pills 5 days.Now I am on coumadin and the lovenox blood thinning shots along with metformin, among other medicines. So we don't know yet what caused the clot.I got out of the hospital thursday night. I am sorry if I am complaining too much. I just need to vent. I am hurting but I will take this one day at a time. Thanks everyone.

Dear Kimberly,

You are NOT complaining too much! I cannot imagine what you have been through and the doubts and difficulties you are still going through. I did not hear any complaining from you, only a little feeling sorry for yourself, which is certainly justified. I hope that the road is smooth from here on!

As far as the nightmare is concerned, I suspect that God wanted you to be prepared so that this would not be such a shock for you. I hope you will soon forget the fear of the nightmare and of the subsequent hospitalization and be able to be thankful because you are experiencing a good healthy life. I know that this has been hard on you and undoubtedly on your family as well.

I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through surgery again. You have been through so much already.

You are on Coumadin which is a good sign. I suppose you were told that you must have a Protime test every so often. Finally we think the amount of Coumadin I take is regulated so that I don't have to go every 2 weeks, it is now every 4 weeks unless I get big bruises that I can't explain where they came from.

You certainly didn't vent too much. We all have days where we have to let it all out. We are here to support you and give opinions, not to critize anyone for anything they have done or didn't do.

Please don't ever hesitate to post your thoughts, joys or ask questions. We are here for you.

I pray that you don't have any more surprises and that your "Guardian Angel" keeps watching over you.

Take care

Kimberly.

Don't worry at all about venting. This is the one place you can vent and speak your heart freely and find a supportive bunch waiting to listing. Take care and heal well.

Peace,

Leon

Kimberly,

Sorry you are going through so much. You have been a great inspiration for those of us who will eventually be traveling down your path. I think I've complained a whole lot more over a whole lot less so don't feel bad about it.

Do they know where your blood clot originated from? I've been plagued with quite a few blood clots and at the time coumadin was not a good choice for me due to my bp dropping very low. So, they installed an inferior vena cava filter also known as a greenfield's filter. It at least keeps it out of the heart and lungs from the legs.

Just a thought
