New Info and Visits!

Third day in the hospital and got some answers as to why this happened!  Well, turns out I have a blood disorder called Factor V Leiden.  That means that my blood can be too thick at times.  So, being on birth control for the first time in a long time, having surgery (tummy tuck), and not getting up and walking enough was the perfect storm!  I guess birth control is a no no with this disorder.  I will be on Cummadin for at least six months if not more.  I am now starting to research like crazy the idea of having vascular surgery to remove these clots so I do not need to be paranoid anymore!  I will be staying in the hospital until my blood reaches a certain level call INR level.  This level tells how thick or thin your blood is and I need to be between a 2 and 3.  Loved seeing the kids today!  Thanks mom!!!
