Update on myself
Just a quick note to everyone to let you know that I will not be able to be on much for a few days. I had some shortness of breath and chest/back pain this afternoon. After spending the day int he ER we found out that I have several small pulmanary embolis (sp?)or blood clots in my lungs. I will have to go in for Lovenox shots twice a day and also I will be on Cumidin (sp?) for at least threee months. I am the only patient that my doc has ever treated for this outpatient, but he is confident that because I am not having any more symptoms that I will be ok. Please pray for me that I will come through this with flying colors. Up until now I have had absolutley NO problems. I haven't even had to take Tylenol since friday morning. ~~~Amy LAP RNY 08-05-03 -12 pounds
