Hello everyone,

I just don't know what to say - all these lovely messages..................

A big thank you to all who posted a comment. Shimmer, I luv you to bits for putting all the messages together for me and for keeping everyone up to date.

I did indeed develop a cluster of blood clots. I happen to have blood that clots if you take your eye off it for more than two seconds, so after a long history of DVTs and a pulmonary embolism some years back that nearly saw me off, it was decided that I should stay on a low maintenance dose of warfarin that would keep my blood too thin to clot. It is now clear that the maintenance dose wasn't high enough........................
Over the past couple of weeks I'd been feeling increasingly breathless. It's been a bit of a stressful time lately with the deaths of my uncle and a friend and I thought at first it might be my asthma playing up. But I decided it wasn't that so I went to my doctor last Wednesday morning, as an emergency patient. Was there two hours while they did a range of blood tests, an ECG etc. The ECG revealed something was up and my GP thought I may have had a silent heart attack.
Later that day, my GP rang to say that some of the test results were back and one of them was a worry so I had to go to hospital. She said to pack a bag and get there a.s.a.p. Well, I arrived at 6.45, was checked in, given another ECG and a diabetes test (negative) and then left until they could find a bed, which finally materialised at 1.30 am. Duty doc arrived at 4.30 am to examine me and say that they were pretty certain it was a clot lodged in my lung. I had a chest x-ray the next day to confirm that it wasn't a chest infection and then I was off to Nuclear Medicine for a 'lung perfusion' test, which revealed 'large mid and lower zone perfusion defects in both lung fields' ie a cluster of blood clots.
I've been given injections and high doses of warfain to disperse the clots and they let me come home yesterday afternoon on the strict understanding I don't 'do anything silly'. Have to say, anything other than breathing seems difficult at present; I am so tired.
Had to go to my GPs this morning for today's blood test and the lovely nurse was aghast that I'd had another clot. She told me I'm lucky to be alive. It would seem that the erratic ECG graph was because of small clots breaking away and causing problems. A bigger clot would simply have stopped my heart...................................
Does anyone know roughly how many lives a dormouse has? lol

Once again, a big thank you for all your lovely encouraging messages. They have cheered me up so much.
