VACATION!!!!!!!!!!

Finals are finished!!! Thank god. I finished Tuesday actually and have been at work since! Health hasn't been so hot. Last week my INR jumped to 5.8, so they had me skip a dose of coumadin and then scale back on the amount. This week I had an appointment with my hematologist, who informed me that I was having "Idiopathinc Pulmonary Emboli" which basically means they don't know much of anything! He also informed me I'd have to take coumadin the rest of my life. I was very unhappy with this statement, so I asked to be referred for a second opinion. He seemed kind of reluctant and told me "I don't think they are going to give you any different answer then I'm giving you, but I'll give you a refferal." I accepted the refreral and by the grace of God, have an appointment this coming week with a "clotting specialist" at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Hopefully I will find out some better answers!
