Friday
• After spending all day at the hospital, I stayed home to unwind for the evening with Nights in Rodanthe.
Saturday
• I woke up feeling pretty bummed that I would be spending Valentine's Day without hubby for the first time in 11 years.
• Took another day off exercise after getting the blood clot news on Friday.
• My Mom and sister came over to cheer me up in the afternoon.
• Went for my next anticoagulant injection.
• Received a beautiful flower arrangement from hubby.
• Spent the evening with my best friend who ditched her hubby so I wouldn't be alone. How's that for a good friend? Thanks Sarah!
Sunday
• Went to the gym for some bike, treadmill and stepmill. Felt good to exercise.
• Another injection.
• Dinner at Mom & Dad's.
Monday
• Family Day in Ontario - holiday!
• Woke up early to go to the hospital for my blood test.
• Spent four hours (!!!) waiting for the results (thankfully, I brought a book): levels have not changed. My liver is metabolizing the drug too quickly (common in young people). Dose has been doubled.
• Another injection - really starting to feel like a pin cushion now.
• Dinner with my best friend and my sister-in-law (who are sisters) and their families.
Misc.
• Shoulder is doing great. Have not worn the sling since Thursday. I might try a light run next weekend...
• Hubby comes home in < 3 weeks!
• This week is going to be hectic: injections every day, blood work on Thursday, Thrombosis clinic on Thursday, have to squeeze in an appointment with my family doctor, hoping to hit the gym a few times. Not to mention work!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

That good to hear your shoulder is doing better, and you seem to be doing damn fine with the injury if your going to the gym and stuff. Keep it up! Ugh, work? At least youhave a 4 day week :)
Glad to hear about the shoulder. That is one less think to think about. Sounds like you got a busy week ahead!
Aw, the injections suck, I know. I feel so bad knowing what you're going through. I'm so glad your friend came over for V day, that was so nice of her. Hopefully the next 3 weeks fly by!
Sending Beachy hugs!
One day at a time girlfriend, don't stress to much about trying to fit everything in...you are doing so very well, keep up the great positive attitude, that is 90% of it....

That stinks about your shots, hopefully they'll get your doses stablized soon and you won't have to go for monitoring as often. Those are gorgeous flowers, and that is awesome that your friend hung out with you on V-day. Get well soon!
