Oh yeah, Lovenox, Coumadin, genetic tests, the whole nine yards. With my deep family history of vascular issues, it will be interesting to see how the tests turn out. The crisis was this weekend.

Thing is, I would have (maybe, I was in deep denial) been diagnosed about two weeks earlier - right after the DVTs formed if I hadn't been feeling so icky anyway from overwork. Icky was my normal state. If they had been caught earlier, a filter could have been put in the vein and the PEs and hospital stay could have been avoided. There is a whole semester's worth of lessons in there somewhere.

Interesting that cyclists seem to be prone to PEs. Is is just because we are aware of our own? I wonder if there have been statistical studies.

As for yelling at me, you don't know my family. That's how we communicate. It's the only way to get through to me.

Anyway, thanks for listening. I do appreciate it.
