Good luck Tim. Sometimes it just seems like it will never end but you hang in there and ask for all the support you need. I know how it feels to be just totally exhausted and I know I am not alone....here with the Zapper family.

Take care and keep in touch as you have time.

Well guys I'm in for my first big zap. I guess my Indy trip was not as sweet as I thought. The extra I tried to do to have my first real christmas is gonna have to wait. The one med that they have me on ticlid is eating my platelets up and I have been slowly bleeding inside. Don't know what all that means but I am shure all tired all over once again. I put on 14 lbs water weight that they are going to pump off of me tommorow. And try to find some other kind of blood thinner that I can take. My daughter don't know as I do not want to spoil her christmas. My brother is going to have the famialy christmas this sunday. Monday I go in for oberservation. If I dont write I'll be busy. Write you all when I get home.

Dear Tim and all Zappers,

Christmas is always a hard time to face, even when you

are well and have family. Don't know why!!!!! Dennis

and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I will

not be politically correct by saying, Happy Holidays.

Even though we are new to the list, we hope we are

part of the " family " .

scrapnfriend, they did find out what is going on. And they said they were right. The medication I'm taking they believe is causing something called "Thromboctopenia"? what ever that is. But the bleeding is coming from the kidney on my left side. They stopped the med and Monday I'll go for some blood and platelets, and observation. I still get to go to the Christmas party. So I get one more Christmas with the family. I'll tell them all when I get ready to go home. Thanks for your concern. I know It's private and sincere. The church wants to help, but they can't really without alerting my family. My blood pressure was 70/49, and a pulse of 42. but at least the doctors let me go till the first of the week. Merry Christmas. Oh by the way it has not dumped my spirits too much as I've been making chocolates' four different bon-bons, five different fudges, carmel pinwheels, chocolate covered pretzels, dipped dried pineapple, and chocolate covered marshmallows. and

to top everything off I made chocolate truffles. Tim and a HAPPY HO-HO TO EVERYBODYScrapnfriend@... wrote: Good luck Tim.

Oh Tim -- what a wonderful Christmas it will be with all your goodies -- your family will be so happy and blessed to share in those things that you made... It will be memorable for them... How do I know this? Because I know how much my family loves my fudge at Christmas time -- it just isn't Christmas without Mom's fudge -- my friends feel that way too. I just made four kinds yesterday and one of our family parties tomorrow.

You have a WONDERFUL Christmas no matter where or when it happens.

Hello Turk; I know what it is. Sometimes playing stupid helps. It is not that I am not concerend, It's Christmas. They will just like last time, give me predesone, blood, platelets, and hope. It was a med last time. My concern is this bum kidney. It is not going to take much more abuse. It's function is less than 15%. And the only reason it has not come out is my health. I have that link, My daughter Attends Indiana University, and I am sighned up as a guest there. They have all the info I can digest. The question mark in my cliff notes was more like here we go again. I would of had my zapper over two years ago if they could of found a blood thinner that I did not have a reaction to. I'm still gonna have my Christmas I'm still gonna smile. And I'm gonna play just like my grandson did. The nurses are trying to get these treatment for me at home. They say there is a real good chanch of this happening, mainly I've been through it once before And like you

said it's christmas. Got to go now my daughter came in. I still don't want her to know yet. Last time though it took almost two weeks. Hey, You all have a Merry Christmas Happy ho Ho.

Thanks Turk,

I am on coumadin,

plavix and baby aspirin and had a nosebleed on Thanksgiving that I couldn’t get

stopped. After several hours in

the ER I have a few new methods to stop a nosebleed and a $150 (after insurance)

nose clamp.

They did a bunch of

blood tests but they only told me that my INR was OK. My family doc thought it was caused by the dry air and that

I should spray saline solution up my nose twice a day.

Now I am more

worried about an uncontrolled nosebleed than I am about being zapped. LOL

I will file this

link in case I have continued problems.

Merry Christmas to

All

I know i should get it checked more often but you know how it is, go to work and come back home and weekends fly by and by the time i realize it has been three months.

Don't complain. Think of what

happened to the poor turkey. How would you like to have someone make

gravy out of your giblets. And the stuffing . . .

Not sure what that is but Scarlet

Johanson was told her TNA was OK, too.

Wet air is called rain.

And you believed him? it's a good

thing he's a cardiologist and not a proctologist.

I'd worry more about sneezing. With

all that salt water up uyour nose, you might cause a tsunami.

RE: fatboys christmas

Turk,

Don’t I get any credit?

How big a bar tab did you want?

I was Bill’s straight man!

Unless you can sing like Dino, forget it.

Man, is this a learning group.

Most have already learned not to read my drivel.

I didn’t know what TNA was so I did a Google search and found that it is the Texas Numismatic Association.

Boy have you led a sheltered life. Check 's (Scrapnfriend) for what it was. I only wrote it that way because i couldn't afford the apostro fees.

That didn’t seem like what Bill meant

Why should you expect to know what I meant. I rarely know what I'm talking about.

so I searched for that Johanson lady

You and about fifty million dirty old men.

and now my wife won’t let me use the computer anymore.

Aaaah, but will she let you use Scarlet?

Merry Christmas.

Feel easy, Navy Dad.

God Loves Us All

I think my jokes and puns are pushing even His limits.

Hello Jospeh; I am sorry of course you get credit as well. Welcome to the club of men forbidden to use the computer. I think Bill is the founder.

Turk,

Not that I am the

best patient the doctors ever treated but I do get my PT test (INR is the

result) on the schedule they give me which turns out to be about once a

month. I have been on coumadin

(rat poison) for over fifteen years and have learned to watch my consumption of

greens and other vitamin K containing foods so my dosage doesn’t change often.

I can still

remember when I first started taking this wonderful drug. I was told that if your blood gets too

thin (won’t clot) you could bleed to death internally. If your blood gets too think I could

get a blood clot on my mechanical valve, which could break free and cause a

stroke or heart attack.

I was talking to my

aunt yesterday and she ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding when she

started taking coumadin last summer.

I don’t know if her doctor didn’t explain the diet or if she was started

on too high a dosage but she is proof that coumadin is powerful medicine.

Life is full of

choices and I am aware that it is easier to get my tests now that I am

retired. My doc gives me a specific

date when I should get the test. I

get the test at the hospital lab and they phone the results to the doc’s office

and someone usually calls within hours of the blood draw.

I have often

wondered why I have to get tested even monthly since my INR doesn’t change that

much but I don’t have MD behind my name so I keep getting the tests. Don’t you feel sorry for the folks at

the lab who have to listen to my jokes once a month?

Take care,

Joe Schmidt

Hello Joe;

I am on

coumadin as well and my doc always tell me that i have to get my inr every

three weeks to a month but i only got it checked whenevr i went to him and he

gets very upset about that. I know i should get it checked more often but you

know how it is, go to work and come back home and weekends fly by and by the

time i realize it has been three months. I wish i can say the same thing about

being worried about something other than getting zapped but thank god for the

past five years i learned to deal with it. Take care

Thanks Turk,

I am on coumadin, plavix and baby aspirin and had a nosebleed on

Thanksgiving that I couldn’t get stopped. After several hours in the ER I

have a few new methods to stop a nosebleed and a $150 (after insurance) nose

clamp.

They did a bunch of blood tests but they only told me that my INR

was OK. My family doc thought it was caused by the dry air and that I should

spray saline solution up my nose twice a day.

Now I am more worried about an uncontrolled nosebleed than I am

about being zapped. LOL

I will file this link in case I have continued problems.

Merry Christmas to All

what ever that is. But the bleeding is coming from the kidney on my left side.

They stopped the med and Monday I'll go for some blood and platelets, and
