Well I haven't wrote for awhile...where do I start? About 2 weeks ago I got awfully sick. I had kidney stones on both of my kidneys so they admitted me in the hospital hooked up to a PCA pump ( pain med where you push the button), the next day I went to Utah Valley to have Lithotripsy done which is where they use shock wave type things to break up your kidney stones, they also placed a stent in my kidney. sounds yucky I know, it gets worse, I came home from the surgery & wasn't feeling great, but the next day Tom's boss Marve brought me a Filly off the track that is 3 she is so pretty, but my ankles were so swollen & I felt so yucky all I could do was pet here & put her away & go home. I got home & could not breathe Tom rushed me to the ER & after blood work & a CT scan they determined that I have pulmonary emboli in my lungs ( what does that mean multiple blood clots, which if you know anything about anything people die from!) Freaky I know I bawled, so 2 more days in the hospital with horrible lovenox (heparin) shots in the tummy & coumadin later I got to come home. SO long horrible story short I now have to be on the coumadin ( blood thinner) which freakin old people take for 6 long months I have so far had to have my blood checked once a week, last week it was too thick. I know I sound like a baby BUT to check my blood instead of actually drawing from a vein they prick my finger & I HATE HATE HATE it! ok I'm done Also this means I have to be very careful to not get hurt or cut doing anything because I will BLEED! literally Oh & if that's not enough for ya I have a hard time breathing, my lungs don't quite expand like they should So pretty much I'm gonna just sit on the couch & do nothing that way I don't get hurt & can breathe, well unless of course I fall off LOL :)
In other news.....Tom has been busy again with fires, I have started school again in Cedar I have 3 classes left to finish my Bachelors in Biology, I'm staying with Em & Kev during the week & they are taking great care of me. My classes are good, although my 1 professor is a whack job! He looks like a mad scientist so at least, he will be entertaining, the other 2 classes are taught by a professor that is my friend so I love that She is an amazing teacher & I could listen to her lecture all day!
