OH MY! TK, you have been through alot!

How are you doing at this point?
Sending prayers and wellwishes your way my dear :hug:

I'm so sorry for what you've been through.

Anxious to hear how you're doing....

:hug: Rae :hug:

I'm okay. I'm home and feeling better, really weak though. I'm still taking lovenox shots twice a day with home health and they monitor me. My scs is doing well, but I hardly think that I'm only 2 weeks out of revision surgery due to the blood clot scare.

Really gave me a mortality scare. RSD is crappy and painful, but it beats not getting to see my husband and kids for sure!!

Anyway, thanks for all the concern, love, prayers, and hugs!! I get to be on this lovely drug called Coumadin for quite some time. Luckily it's cheap.

Wish I could say that about the shots. They're expensive.

Well, I hope 'ol Sheldon stays put this time and keeps humming like he is supposed to.

Well, thanks for everything!!

I'm so sorry all you've had to deal with. Haven't been on the site lately. I hope by now you're out of ICU and getting your strength back..
Coumidin is a very tricky blood thinner that needs to be monitored with regular blood tests. If I remember correctly you have to avoid certain foods too.
Thank goodness your husband got you to the ER quickly. Sometimes our spouse and family members know what's best for us.
Hope you're home soon Sandy

We are sorta good at that around here TK, and you are in our post trauma care ward here now. Follow orders, be good to thyself, did I suggest follow orders, and rest up while healing.

Caring as one of Many,

Ahhhh...good to hear you are home.
Praying for a clear path of healing for you.

and yes those shots are expensive..I had to give myself one a day after my knee surgery for ten days...and mine came in a twelve pack..what is that all about????....like hot dogs and buns!!!

Rest well

I have been these horrible shots in my stomach every 12 hours. I don't know how long it will take for the clots to disappear, but I hope it's soon, but then I will be on a drug called Coumadin for 6-9 months. We don't have a definitive answer why it happened, but consensus say feeling like poo lying in bed apparently caused a few DVTs thar broke and landed in my lungs. I believe divine intervention was at work because we were not planning to go to th hospital. Well, my husband felt something was wrong, and we went. If we waited a week or two, it might have been no more TK. Wow!! Crazy how things work out sometimes. Anyway, I should be out of icu today or tomorrow, and out of hospital, well hopefully Friday. At least no rsd pain the DVTs ultrasound was quite painful, but I made it. Oh, and due to mixed company, I dare not tell y'all my catheter story but it is a doozy.wow!!! Wow ridiculousness. But I'm here by the grace of god.
