To blood clot or not to blood clot

Not to blood clot!  How's that for irony.  I guess it's better to know and be on the safe side, but how frustrating to spend 2 months on blood thinners, spend 3 days in the hospital, an unbelievable number of needle pricks, go through just about every test known to man, and after all of that, they have pretty much decided that it was never a blood clot in the first place.  UGH!!

So, now we are trying to figure out what it was.  I'm supposed to go for a Pulmonary Function Test to determine if I have some sort of asthma (even if it's just very minor).  The doctor told me that it could also be anxiety. Anxiety?? What do I have to be anxious about?? HA!!  Anyway, that's the latest on the health front.

On the TNT fundraising front, I'm getting very close to meeting my minimum which will be SOOOO nice!  I'm hoping that I can get that met this week and then I'll be able to focus solely on my training.  My goal there is to beat last year's 1/2 marathon time of 2 hrs, 30 minutes, so if I can stay healthy and focus on improving my time, I'll be very happy!

Be safe, happy and healthy.  

Till next time...
