Hi Cat, Hi Everyone !
Just checking in. Hope everyone is doing OK.
I am doing OK. Taking it as easy as possible. Following Dr's orders. Been on forced rest for 8 days so far. Still bruised from injections, catheters and blood tests. Having more tests Friday. Will find out then just how serious things are.
Brief explanation for those not on my FB page. I have been diagnosed with the same Blood Disorder that my Dad died from aged 38. My sister has it and has TIA's all the time. My niece has it too. It was discovered that I had it last week when I collapsed with sever chest pain. Apparently the pain was from a decent sized clot dispersing. They think the clots are generating from behind my legs and travelling to my heart and lungs. (Exactly the same way my Dad went). It explains alot of the symptoms I have been having for the past year. It was made more serious because of the stress I have been under with the divorce, being stalked and a full day of abusive messages from the ex and his gf on Father's Day.
So I am on strict orders...NO STRESS !!! Hahaha ! I told the Dr that he needs to lock me in a padded room then and he said "It is no stress, or the morgue...your choice".
And before anyone says again that I have brought this illness on by my own actions...you can't bring on a hereditary blood disorder.
I find out this week if I will be on daily warfarin injections. Apparently I will be on weekly blood tests until I am stabilised. Not allowed to travel long distances by car (which is good coz the clutch died last week and is getting fixed as we speak) and planes are no go until further notice.
OMG LOLOLOL....typical short explanation from me huh.
Thanks for those that messaged me and for the kind messages here.
If there is backlash from me posting here I will self report all my posts. I just really don't want to cause hassles for all you guys.
Cat, when I lost it last week....feeling all hopeless...this is gonna sound stalkerish...but I felt you in the room and could hear my heartbeat slow down and like my hair was being brushed back from my face. I don't know if you were thinking of me at the time but I just wanted you to know that you affect people more than you could ever know....tears here now...
