I saw the hemo doc late last night. We determined that I had blood clots in my lungs for two weeks. Two trips to the ER and two Dr office visits yet nobody figured it out...Dr told me I am very lucky. The last two weeks I kept reviewing my life insurance and 401K funds value in my mind and had weird mortality thoughts.
Dr told me I am a life long Cumadin user and I'll never have an alcoholic drink again. Fine by me, I get to love my wife and kids and ride my bike. What more could I ask for?
What a great attitude. That's going to help your long term outlook more than anything else. My sister had a leg injury and dozens of clots moved to her lungs, part of her lung is now dead, and she's still a young 45. But she has an irrepressible spirit and a cheerful outlook, and she's come through fine. Now she needs to lose the weight she gained from being immobilized for so long.
My prayers go out to you and your family.
