Reporting for Duty
Okay...I'm done malingering for a while. Actually, I really needed an M37 fix! I tossed a blood clot in my lung on Saturday afternoon and just got out of the hospital. Thought I was gonna be reporting to that big motor pool in the sky before they got me to the ER. I couldn't breathe, talk, control any of my muscles, and had "power-puked" all over myself by the time my son found me and called 911. Not a real pleasant few days, there. I'm still on all my other meds, but have now had my steroids greatly increased and have to take blood thinners for a while pending future lab results. Not moving too fast here, but still moving.
I'm going to rest now.
See ya!
