Medical Nsv...and It's A Huge One



Recommended Posts

BKMama, I have been very diligent about letting him know about anything unusual, so we're both pretty confident that I will continue to be diligent about that. I'm not off his patient list yet, so I'll still be seen at least every 3 months. He does a thorough assessment of me at every visit (wish my guy would be as thorough as my doctor, lol) and with my activity level, the doc is confident that I will not have another clot anyway. My last clot was caused by a combination of pneumonia and inactivity. With 2 cardio workouts a day, we both think that won't be an issue. :)

Ok cool. I hope you know I wasn't doubting you, I was just curious. :) I'm so happy for you, that's a huge accomplishment!!

Some of you know that I have a DVT (blood clot) and two pulmonary embolisms before surgery because of pneumonia. You might remember that I've been on coumadin since last June because of those clots. I had an appt with my pulmonary doctor yesterday and he told me that I could refuse to continue taking the coumadin. He couldn't NOT prescribe it because my test results still say I'm high on clot factor, but with my weight loss and activity level, he wouldn't argue with me if I refused the medicine, so I refused it.

As a precautionary measure, he ordered an ultrasound of my legs, the site of the blood clot before. I had that ultrasound today and my legs are not only clot free, the tech couldn't even tell where the clot had been!!

She also complimented me on the amount of muscle in my thighs, although that muscle made it harder for her to do the ultrasound. :)

I'm a happy and HEALTHY girl today!! I think I can predict that I will outlive the death sentence the doctors handed me last year! :) THAT is worth a happy dance all on it's own!!! ;)

Congratulations to you!!!! How incredibly awesome. Wishing you continued success!

Steph, I did have to have a filter installed and then removed, only mine was placed through my groin into my vena cava. The ultrasound tech found that scar tissue during her ultrasound yesterday, but she said even that looked really good. Those two surgeries were WAY scary for me!!! But, I would do every last bit of it again to get where I'm at today!!! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
