Memories...

Remember this from last October?? Memories...

Yep, THAT my friends was a DVT. A blood clot. A "this ould kill you thing" in my leg. 12 Months, a bunch of blood thinners, even more blood tests and a whole lot of THANK GODS later and I'm pretty much 100%. The DVT is gone, I've been off blood thinners for some time now, and the swelling I do get in my leg now is from some non life threatening, non DVT clots in some superficial veins. Still no reasons why I may have got the clot. All tests show I'm "normal". At least blood wise, the mind is a WHOLE other story, but still freaky. Why? I may never know.

What I do know is that I'm glad to be off the meds, with normal sized legs and little to no risk for pulmonary embolism. I also know I'm happy to still be alive, to still be racing, riding, and thinking of nothing more than bikes, racing, and all matters related to. Thanks to the powers that be and the medical community for alllll that.

Not sure why I felt the need to post this tonight. Maybe that it's been a year. Maybe it's that I have another Doppler coming up, and another Doctor's visit. Who knows? Maybe it was that I had nothing else to talk about?

Later.
