    MP-

    Geez, girl, that's scarey! So lucky that you caught it in time!

    Those injections are no fun. I had to do them (Lovenox or something) into my stomach, and just couldn't. DPITA (dear pain in the @ss) is a nurse, so she had to do the shots for me.

    Stay off the bike until the doc says so. Those thinners can mess things up a bit.

    Be careful! Hugs!

    Please be careful & don't climb back on until the doc gives the "all clear." So glad that you're OK - how scarey!!!

    I had to give my DH lovenox in the stomach when he was recovering from cancer surgery - he threw a clot into his lung. Docs didn't even want him to shave.

    Here's a trick with the shots: get the needle in & out really fast.

    Dang. I'm happy to hear it turned out ok for you. How scary it must have been to have a mouth full of blood.

    Take it easy!

    Geezies MP! Now that I've read the full story, it's scarier than I had imagined. I'm so glad that you are okay and that they caught it before any worse damage was done. Like everyone else has said, the bike and the rides will be there when you're ready. Take the time to recover and do some fun things with petitepois and DH.

    Now might be the time for the dancing shirtless bike mechanics.

    Hang in there! Just think - now you'll have more time to chit chat here with us
