My TNT training took a personal turn in late December when I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolus (blood clot in my lung). I was hospitalized for 3 days and am currently on blood thinners to try to dissolve the clot. One of the side effects of the medication is increased tiredness. This often makes it more difficult than normal to get out and run the miles. (The exact opposite of what I need when gearing up to go on long runs!) My team mates have helped me so much through this! I'm not sure I could do it without them.
So, now I go to the hematologist next Friday to see if there was ever a blood clot in the first place. The CT scan showed there was one, but because it was so small in in such a far out place in my lung, then opinions differ from radiologist to radiologist as to what classifies as a blood clot. The hematologist will help figure out where we go from here.
What fun.
