Hi all,

I'm writing this from the hospital.

Here I am almost three months out and having no problems

whatsoever....

Sunday I was making lunch for my family and bam! A sharp pain on my

right side about level with my belly button but on my side. It kind

of felt like a bad cramp so I sat down for an hour or so. I then

went too some church meetings and it hurt a little but not bad. It

was most noticible when I breathed in deeply...

I went to work the next day and called my doc at noon and setup an

appointment.....

Next thing I know...I get a CT scan and they check me into the

hospital! I have a super tiny blood clot in my lungs and may have

others in my pelvic area they can't see.

So I'm on Heprin drip and will be on cumiden for the next half year

probably.

Kind of a bummer but it could have been worse!

[Guest guest]

wow- very frightning news - I'll be praying for you

- I'm sorry to hear about your blood clot, but thankful it was found before

it did any serious damage. I guess it just goes to show us that even at 3

months out, we need to be on the lookout for these. You have a great attitude

about it. Take care.

I sure am glad that they caught this right away and you are gettting

proper treatment! What surgery did you have? Also, did you get the

blood thinner shots after surgery in the tummy? I am wondering,

since I am going to be looking at doing this very shortly. Thanks

for any info and I will keep you in my prayers. Kay

Dear ,

I'm sooo sorry to read about your blood clot(s) but I'm sure glad that

you are okay and they caught them before anything more serious happened.

I had DVT (deep vein thrombosis and blood clots after daughter number

three. I did the heparin IV and the coumadin (for 13 months) too! You take

care and do exactly what your doc says to do,okay?

Love from your Sis in VA,
