Chocolate pie, cinnnamon almond, gournet pizza - you guys are making me HUNGRY!!!

Fish - sorry about the rain. Come here and ride in our perfect weather - I can't!

Knotted - bummer about the PMS. I also cry easily - usually when I am mad. And it doesn't happen professionally (thank heaven - how effeictive would I be as an attorney then??) For example, when I got the big blow off from the pulmonoligst's scheduling troll last week who wouldn't get me in for 3 1/2 weeks - hey I'm coughing up blood here, folks! Anyway I had a good cry after that!

Went to the ER this morning. Was woken up with stabbing chest pain at 4 am - exactly the same pain I got the weekend before I was daignosed with the PEs. Now that I am a teeny bit smarter (stabbing chest pain can be bad - duh!), I decided I should get it checked out. Had another CT scan - fortunately it was the SAME tech as last week, which was super cool. She is becoming an old pal! Anyway, the clots in my lungs actually look better (even though I am not yet responding enough to the anticoagulants) - the pain is basically pleurisy - irritation of the lungs/lining from the clots being there and being broken up. They kept wanting to give me pain meds, and the thing is I want to know what hurts and how badly it hurts. But now I know that it's not a new clot or lung tissue dying (a highly possible thing given that the clots block blood to the lungs) or something terrible.

I am planning my comeback. I just ordered new trail running shoes. I hate running. At least we have good trails here. What I do is more fast hiking anyway.
