As I briefly stated, I am still waiting to become active on the list.  There seems to be some differing opinions between the hemotologist and the surgeon about starting me on blood thinners. They disagree on what kind of thinner I should be on; when I should start taking it, and how long I need to be

Hello friends! I still haven’t heard from my nurse coordinator. I will yet again be leaving another message this week.

Hello friends! Another month has gone by again… Looking over my calendar for the month of June, I’ve done mostly activities. Hey, it’s summertime and I want to enjoy the outdoor fun!

Hello friends, Hope you enjoyed a nice holiday weekend… I did for the most part. I will admit this is my absolute least favorite holiday, I won’t get into any specifics. From my title, yes, I went camping. I was a little nervous; however, my doctor gave me permission and encouraged me that several patients

Hello friends, Once again, it’s been awhile since I’ve written… As you can see from the subject heading of this blog, there have been some issues lately…I think it was the week after Easter that the first issue occurred- the chest pain. I was babysitting my little guy, we had came back from the park,
