Gotta Keep Your Head Up

One week ago, I was just getting checked into Yale hospital in New Haven after being at Goose Lane for hours.  Today? I had the pleasure of waking up in my own bed, without any pain or hurt that I had been experiencing last weekend.  Nice change huh?

It's funny, I have been waking up around 6ish every morning and I think the reason for that is because I'm used to getting woken up to do vitals slash blood work that my body is used to it now.  Not the best thing to get used to but, I'll take it as long as I can fall asleep again.  Which has not been happening but still, I'm home and don't need to get the blood drawing at the crack of dawn.

Today I do have the pleasure to get my blood drawn to check my INR levels.  The slight problem with that is I have not been getting the belly shots that I think jump starts my INR levels, so I know they are going to be all out of whack.  I'm also taking a very high level of steroids which I realized last night when I was trying to go to bed that is an additional factor to my INR level probably being low.  For some reason I'm not so worried about my INR levels because they told me last week that the blood clot was really gone and that I just had thickness on the walls of my veins.  

Today I get to go back to work and I could not be more excited.  Crazy, right?  I am pumped to go back to the busiest day of the week and I have no reservations about it.  I just want to go back to normal and spending a week in the hospital made me feel the farthest from normal I have in a long while.  But tonight I get to work with my friends.  So excited.

I'm going to post some of the pictures I took last week; one of my ET finger and the other of the building I was in/the view of the second room.  I know I have been saying this for a while, but I am actually doing it today before I go into work.  

Once again thanks for every kind thought and prayer everyone has sent this way.  Love you all
