Blood clot - Home from the hospital

I have not been on the board in because last week I discovered a blood clot and was admitted to the hospital.  The Doctor has me on Lovenox and coumadin.  They think it developed from when they took my IVC filter out through my neck where I have had previous blod clots.  It was pretty frustrating staying in the hospital when you feel fine, but I home now and can go back to work tomorrow. I am trying to catch up on whats been going on.  Hope every one is doing well.

Well crap, glad you are ok and welcome back.  Now take good care of yourself and make sure you get a medical alert bracelet saying you are on blood thinners!!  Keep yourself well.

Hugs, Diane

Oh man, blood clots suck! They do make you stay in the hospital when you feel fine, too.

Good luck with the rest of your recovery!
