So yesterday was my bday, and thank you for all the love from my friends. BUT, I never expected to spend my bday in the hospital and that is what happened. I had been having this pain in my knee for a few days and kept brushing it off, thinking I bumped my knee during my skid out on Xmas Eve. But when I woke up yesterday and could barely walk, I knew I had to go in. So the hospital did knee xrays, and nothing came back to say anything was wrong with my knee. The doc looked at my chart and saw I had had a Pulmonary Embolism in 2004 (blood clot in my lung), so he recommended a Doppler sonogram be done on my knee just to be 100% sure it wasn't a bloodclot. They did the Doppler and lo and behold...I have a bloodclot behind my knee. SO.....now I'm back on blood thinners BUT instead of complaining that I spent my bday in the ER all afternoon and evening, I am thankful that I didn't let my stubbornness keep me from going cuz I wouldn't have been here to tell you to Cherish Life always...it's way too short!
