    @vhuber - No dropping your goal to make bonus miles. Dave wouldn't accept that. :smile:

    Ohhhh no, no, no! That is not what I meant! I have already hit goal! I agree Dave would NOT approve of that!!!

    Ok on the giving to LoveMyAlex & Dave! I set my ticker BACK to at goal & am giving 3 miles today from walk/jogging pushing Liam in the baby jogger! That will be a total of 18 miles donated now. For "personal" reasons I keep track of my miles in a daily log book. (168)

    Awwwww! That is SO thoughtful to those of you donating your donate bonus miles! I'm getting all teary-eyed and sniffley... :flowerforyou: THANK YOU SO MUCH. :heart:

    I have to tell you that after three days on the blood thinners now, I'm no longer terrified every time I cough or sneeze that something is going to shift and something bad is going to happen....I don't want to jinx anything, but I think I'm getting close to being out of the woods... *fingers crossed* I can already noticeably breathe better and that is such a huge blessing!! I took the trash out to the dumpster across the parking lot tonight and when I got back to my apartment, I was not breathing extra hard like I would have three days ago!! And just generally, my chest doesn't feel so "tight" now...it's wonderful! I can't tell you what a relief it is. I'm looking forward to getting the go-ahead from the doctor to begin light exercise again! :drinker:

    Still doing my best to follow the doctor and INR nurse's orders to a T....taking it easy and following all of my instructions for my meds and watching my intake of Vitamin K (off-sets the effects of the Coumadin). Things are going really well so far.

    I was never afraid you wouldn't be back. I hope the Drs can get the muscle spasms under control and your surgery goes well next month. And Thank you for continuing to post, even if you aren't adding big miles right now. Like I said, I know this is only a temporary pause and soon you will be moving right along.

    Thank you SO much for the kind words, Dean. I truly do appreciate them. I'm really glad I listened to you because now...here's where I get to say, "YOU told me so." :smile: I frequently am one to dismiss just about any symptoms and try to take care of them by myself and internally scoff when someone says "You should go see a doctor" over a cough or an ache...but you, Dean, said just the right things to snap me out of my eternal stubbornness. :smiley: I went to my appointment and the doctor did an exam and I had an EKG which came back normal, then a chest x-ray which also came back clear, but the doc didn't want to just send me home with nothing while still having trouble breathing so he sent me to another facility for a chest CT scan which clearly identified a large blood clot in my lung that I've been carrying around for who knows how long! At least 3-4 weeks. So it's a really good thing I went in when I did because I was a potential ticking bomb waiting to go off. I see him again in about an hour to get started on blood thinners for however long he says. Probably a few months, maybe for good.

    But thanks again, Dean. I owe ya big on this one. :blush: And this one time I won't mind if you send me a bill. :laugh:

    Dave[/quote]

    Ok...I've been out of the office for a few days so I have missed this thread. Dave, I agree with everyone else in how much we do appreciate all you do for this site. I also want to say I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. I, too, don't want to go to the doctor for every ache or pain. I got a blood clot in my lung during a long car ride to OH (from FL) for Christmas 2009. I went to my dr in December 2009 complaining that I couldn't breathe. I had a Half Marathon in January that I had been training for so I knew that there was something wrong. After walking 1/4 mile, I was breathing like I had just walked/run 10 miles. My dr gave me asthma medicine (no...I don't have asthma!). I did the Half Marathon two weeks later with my slowest time ever. I went to my doctor who again didn't want to do anything when I said I couldn't breathe. He told me to wait until my yearly physical in February. I waited and still couldn't breathe. He made me wait longer. Lots more to this story, but it wasn't until MAY that I finally was able to find out what was wrong with me. So I had mine for almost 5 months before it was discovered. My advice to everyone is if you know something is wrong like this, don't ever let a doctor (or yourself!) tell you that it isn't important!!! I was in the hospital for a week (I went directly from my CT scan to a hospital bed...couldn't even go home in between). I had to learn to give myself shots of blood thinner and I am so squeamish that the first time I had ever even seen a needle go into my skin was the first shot I gave myself. My advice on this (if you have to do them yourself) is just count to 3 and jab. LOL! Sounds easy and given the alternative I learned how to do it. I was told by my pulmonologist that it was the largest clot she had ever seen. I was on blood thinners for only about 6 months though.

    Truly if you have any questions that you might want to ask me (ANY!), feel free to PM me. Take it easy for as long as the doctor tells you no matter how much you want to get out and do something.

    And needless to say, I don't have that doctor anymore! LOL!

    @KAR328 - Karen, funny thing is I think I heard the *whooshing* sound as we flew by the $260-mark a lonnnnng time ago yesterday! :laugh: I think conservatively, we're probably up around $1500 minimum now, but you won't hear me complain about that one bit because that's still a bargain considering the alternative. :flowerforyou:

    Dave

    OK...sorry for another quoting reply on the site, but like I said, I am a few days behind here! My first lovenox scrip (first only...there were more!) was a $602 copay! LOL! I picked it up on my way home from the hospital and had no idea it would be so much. I sat in Walgreens and cried and then pulled out my credit card b/c what choice did I have, right? Then I just prepared myself that in the next few weeks, I would be shelling out whatever the out of pocket max was on my insurance. Small price to pay (comparatively it was...the out of pocket max on the same policy here at work has quadrupled since then!) for being able to breathe.

    Glad to hear you are doing so much better already! And hopefully I have some miles to donate this month as well!

    That's so scary that your doctor wouldn't listen to you!!! That's what I was afraid of happening when I went in! (Of course I had NO idea that this* was a possibility....) That maybe, if I was lucky, I might get some antibiotics. But my symptoms didn't show that I needed antibiotics and he didn't want to just send me home. Thank god for that! It was a whirlwind crazy ride of appointments and tests those first 36 hours and I didn't know it yet, but my life had at that point changed. But I'm already doing so much better and I'm so grateful for every day now. :)

    Oh WOW!! I'm sorry yours was so expensive!! I also have to do the Lovenox injections and I was so fortunate that my co-pay was only $12 but I couldn't believe it when I read the pharmacy label and it said that the 1-week supply (14 syringes) was almost $1800!!! :noway: I have to get another 1-week supply now because it's going to take a little longer to get my numbers stabilized. I didn't think I would really have too much trouble giving myself the shots...but the first time did cause me quite a bit of anxiety. Now it's no big deal already. But just like with the cost, any discomfort from the shots is a small price to pay for the ability to breathe and keep on living. :flowerforyou:

    LOL! They told me the shots would only be one week, too! It ended up being two weeks. They must say that to everyone so we don't get overly anxious! Only once did I hesitate giving myself the injection and then I literally had to put it down, walk around and do something else for about 5 minutes before I could try again. But as my Dad told me when it happened...you either learn how to do it or you die. He's so sweet, huh? :#

    @Dave, glad you're doing better. I thought of you last night, when we diagnosed one of the preterm patients with clots in both lungs. She's on IV heparin right now.
