Blood Clot

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for being so understanding about my recent condition. It has been a long week and a frustrating struggle with multiple doctor's giving multiple opinions and offering differing advice on treatment. I am trying to stay as caught up as I can from my parent's house down in the cities and I am allowed to return to school with some restrictions for walking on Monday. I hope everyone is doing well and thank you again for your kind words and expressions of concern and understanding. I greatly appreciate it. :-) Just to keep people up to date, I have a DVT which is a clot in my leg and it is in the right femoral vein. I was also just recently scanned for a pulmonary embolism which is a clot in the lung. I am waiting for the results of that testing. I am taking two forms of blood thinning medication right now and will need to be getting my blood checked every few days as the dosages of those medications will need to be adjusted accordingly to my INR. That is all the information that I have right now, if you have any questions about my return or need something from me that I am late on or an idea of when I will be getting back on track, please feel free to contact me at any time.

  1. I am glad that you are feeling better now. That really sucks that you were in so much pain and had to miss classes. I hope that the rest of your semester goes well :)
