Rat Poison, Part Deux: The Final Insult

[WhiteValleyHerp]

Hey All -

As some of you old-timers to the forums know, I spent a night in the hospital in November of '06 when I threw a ginormous blood clot from my leg ("DVT") to my lung ("PE"). I was on a blood thinner - Coumadin (Warfarin), specifically - up until this past January. That's when, in his wisdom, my doctor rolled me off of the prescription.

Well, it appears that I have a bone to pick with him.

After once again becoming symptomatic over the past three to five days, even while using the "low dose" aspirin since January to kinda-sorta reduce the clotting factors, I'm back in the hospital.

But instead of throwing one big-ass clot, I have a buncha smaller ones.

I'm typing this from my ER room (Waukesha Memorial Hospital), as they're still trying to find a room on the wards for me.

Be prepared for more (new and improved!) photos of my bruised up belly as I inject myself with Lovenox. Details to follow, film at eleven.
