OK I was very sick yesterday. I had not felt good Thursday and Friday and Saturday when I woke up I felt a little better so I went to the gym. I did 15 minutes on the bike and 15 minutes on the treadmill and I did leg press, shoulder press, Lat pull down and abdominal crunches. I started feeling dizzy and horrid so I told hubby we had to leave. I got home around 10am and laid down and was in the fetal position with chills for several hours. I did not get out of bed until after 4 and that was only due to hubby screaming at me to get up since he decided to clean the house and watch the baby (Doesn't the man know he cannot multi-task). The only thing I ate yesterday was 1/2 an egg and a couple handfuls of popcorn. I am moving around today (like normal) and feel a bit better but when I woke up I noticed a bright red hot splotch on my right leg. This is not good since that is how my blood clots start. I have a history of them from when I had my middle son. Please pray it will not develop into one or if it does that it will wait until Friday May 1 when my insurance starts. The red splotch has not gone away so it is not how I slept. I do not want to be admitted in the hospital and put on blood thinnners again like I did several years ago.

Hubby forced me to the ER last night and I got diagnosed with blood clots. These are near the surface. I go in at 9:30 for a 10am appt to rule out them being DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). I sure hope they are not. If they are then I will be put on longer term meds and possibly hosp. As of now they offered me pain meds yesterday (I refused since I have some here already) and they prescribed antibiotics.

I am back. The ultrasound tech said she did not see any deep clots but could not tell me for sure. I did have a call from the hospital when I came home and I had to leave a message so hopefully that is restating the good news. I do have the clots near the surface so I took the day off (what was left of it that is--spent most of it at the hosp for testing) and now I am going to go take my meds and take a nap.

Sending prayers your way. I can understand about not wanting to take the coumadin/warfin~nasty stuff. My grandmother was on it or a long time as is my fil now. My aunt had one in her lung and was on it, but they put a stent in her arm so if she would get one it wouldn't go there again~something to look into if you get them alot.
