This blog will be short for now.  Suffice it to say that doctors sometimes office incorrect instructions.  I called my neurologist to see when to start back on my Plavix - blood thinner.  Her nurse said immediately.  That was two days and many painful hours ago.  i am finally able to sit up without feel as if i was going explode and am finally certain i'm not dying quickly.  i'm taking one step at a time and will post a full blog in the next couple of days.
i love you guys.
