This road is likely the bumpiest I have ever traveled. Its a bit ironic. As I have been spending a bit of time getting to know a lot of the alternate ways to and from Livermore (church & Joy's school), my life seems to be looking much to same. There are plenty of hills, curves, straight-a-ways... you get my drift! Last week, I lamented over my Wednesday, a not-so-good health day for me. At the time, I wondered if it was somehow related to my actual blood draw that morning. It wasn't. How do I know? Today, I had another day like that. I was feeling sick, tired, lethargic, worn, dizzy, lightheaded... & to top it all off? I had some suspicious bleeding! Not ideal for someone on Coumadin for a pulmonary embolism! Since my INR was high the day I felt this way last week, I suspect its related. I am concerned as well. I asked my hubby to call the Coumadin Clinic for me at Sutter Tracy and he did. They asked me to go in for a blood draw today when I got back home to Tracy. I made it 20 minutes before closing at 3:40pm with my kids in tow. Fortunately, there was no line... and get this, the ladies who work there were thinking they should have seen me that morning and were wondering where I was... great! (I actually have been going in Wednesdays.) I was in & out and on my way to the store before heading home just in time for a nice early dinner. I am feeling a smidgen better, as I did later on last Wednesday. I will get my INR results tomorrow. I am guessing that means I won't have it checked again Thursday but we will see. Please keep me in your prayers. The good news is that since David doesn't go in until 4:30 tomorrow, after I drop off Joy at school, I will get to spend the day at my friend's relaxing & trying to get some things done... It's about time ;) Thank you for all oft he prayers... 1.5 hrs until bedtime...
That's all for now...
