June 9 through June11: P had increasing left chest/side pain for 2 or 3 days.
June 12: 10:00 a.m.: P goes to ER, diagnosed with multiple blood clots in both lungs, started on blood thinners. 8:30 p.m.: P admitted to St. Francis at Beech Grove. Continues blood thinners.
June 14: 2:00 p.m.: P released from hospital, goes home, via drugstore, to pick up meds.
Currently: P gets Lovemax, 120mg. injections at 10A & 10P, given subcutaneously by k. P takes 5mg. coumadin once daily at bedtime. P goes to St. Francis, Beech Grove lab daily for blood tests to determine blood levels--"thinness". Doc will call with info on when to stop injections and/or how to adjust medications.
Follow up appointments to be made in 2 to 4 weeks.
P is feeling well and happy and laughing and drinking beer. Must begin regimen tonight (June 15th) of bedtime after 10P shot.
P & k plan to go to GA. the first week in July if blood levels are stable enough to go that long without bood tests, but it is impossible to make definite plans now due to fluctuating blood. :)
Picture that!
There are gobs of people who regularly take coumadin and have blood checked.
love from Indy

Okay, good news to report.
P goes to once a week blood tests. His doc thinks his blood levels are stable enough now.
We can time the blood tests so we can travel.
P & k leave Indy Friday, June 30, 2006 and go to Morganton.
P & k drive to Norcross on Saturday July 1, 2005 to see play, family, big city.
P & k drive to Morganton Sunday, July 2, 2006.
P & k leave Morganton early on Thursday, July 6, 2006 for Indy.
P & k are happy as clams--a questionable degree of good mood if you ask k, who, as you may very well know, is suspicious of all authority.
Also, PERT laughed himself sick at all the messages about fathers.
If accomodations are a prob we'd be happy to drive back Sat. nite after the play.
Jesus Christ on a graham cracker crust, koALa.
Yeah, wouldya mind? Stuff Pert's ass back into the vehicle right after the show; the theatre is really close to 400, so it would be a straight shot up to 20. After all, it's not as if we have four freakin'bedrooms, four couches, and a fold out in T3's room...oh, wait, it's *exactly* like that!
Don't make me come up there, because so help me Jehovah, I'll...where's that goddamned tire iron? It's time for some long overdue retribution...
Okay, young bucko, I'll just print this bit of impertinence and let your P read it and then we'll see. HE'LL deal with YOU, mr mouth. See you SAt.
We just got back from "establishing a relationship" with a local neurologist. You can't have too many doctors if something goes wrong. Nice guy. No new discoveries. Keep on keeping on.
Wed. P gives blood, Thurs. k gets eyes checked, Fri. ROOOOOOAD TRIIIIIP!!!!!!!
