Mice! They taste so nice!
Here's hoping you get off the injections soon (where's the pics though?)

Which ones? The hospital garb, or the junkie tracks?
Let's hope I can stay this way! I've got a thing for breathing.

Good news to start MY day.....
No more junkie tracks! 2.74 for yesterday's PT/INR, so I'm off the Lovenox.
And at $220/day for the injections, not a moment too soon. Gripe all you want about the cost of gasoline - I'm too busy here dealing with the cost of breathing. :awcrap:

OK, it's not clot-related, but evidently, I'm falling apart before your very eyes.....
I just had a root canal done on my upper right incisor/front tooth this afternoon.
If it weren't for the bridgework I have, I'd look like a hockey defenseman that lost too many fights. Well, the upper right incisor holds the rightmost "post" of the bridge, but the nerve was intact. That is, until about two days ago. Yesterday, my diet consisted of things that were soft and mushy.
He had to drill *through* the metal post of the bridge to get to the nerve to drain/excise it. Of course, the torque from the drill - using a bit that can has to cut through metal - transfers to the bridge and the leftmost post. Let's just say my upper jaw was vibrating.
Feeling the compression and shortness of breath from a pulmonary embolism is uncomfortable. This, by comparison, is abject pain.
Fortunately, my dentist (and I should say my *new* dentist - my *old* dentist used to be my brother in law) took mercy on me and wrote for three days of Vicodin.
So now I have something else in common - besides "I've thrown a football in the state of Wisconsin" - with Brett Favre. :grin01:
Stay tuned - if any of you have a propensity for wagering, place your bets on what goes south on me next week.
My money's on the spleen.

You poor sausage! I had 2 back teeth pulled this year, after many root canal sessions on them I'd had enough. The consolation after everything settled down is the cheekbone enhancement!

The past two PT/INR tests:
July 7: 2.48.....a drop, and a kind of significant one.
July 15: 3.33....an increase, and a VERY significant one.
What's odd is that my rat poison dosage did not change at all. :shrugs:
On the good side - my root canal was completed today, and the bridge is snug (as a bug in a rug) again. The "temporary" patch was as temporary as it gets - I cracked it twice in the past two weeks. I can bite into a scone or a turnover again, without worry.
