That has to be up there with my close to 8 years ago experience when they said stroke (stroke!). Actually it turned out to be a series of TIAs. Didn't know the difference between the two until after the fact.

Keep strong. Deciding to be ornery and live has a lot to do with the ability to do so.

Not to steal your topic but I'll tell you they are going to put a thing called a portacath in me. This is a catheter hooked into a big vein with an access point just below my right collarbone. This will let them get blood and deliver medication and blood without having to attack my poor overworked veins. I don't like the idea of something permanent in there and it'll be the first time I've ever been cut open (just a little - same day surgery) but it's for the better. I go see the surgeon on Wednesday.

See? Now you can make your own health comments in my topic because I did so in yours.... Pam of course is an equal opportunity poster.....
