So other than being up at 4:30 this morning to scrub down and shower, today went really well for filter removal at Strong. Having to leave your house at 5:15am to make it to Rochester by 6:30am is totally not something I ever wanna get used to. Got to the hospital and everything went very smoothly. I officially don't like getting an IV put in my hand. I do however like the sedation drugs they give you to make sure you're out of it. I couldn't be totally out during this surgery but because I'm so sensitive to drugs I ended up falling asleep for a good 10-15 minutes while they went in and got the sucker out. Cool thing was that after they were all done I got to see the filter.
My little bit of morbid curiosity was fufilled. It was about the size of a silver dollar in total. Pretty much looked like the skeleton of an umbrella without the cloth covering. lol Everything went really well and the doctor that preformed the surgery said that I'll come in in like 2 weeks to get a CT to see how the pulmonary embolisms (clots that ended up in my lungs) are doing. If they're totally clear and out of my system then my primary doctor wants to get me off Coumadin. Then I'll have my life back completely to normal. So excited. The progress I've made throughout this entire process is still something that awes me. Not something I don't take for granite at all. Now I can't wait for summer to get here so I can get back on the drinking wagon. I'm up to 5 cases of vino stashed away for this summer. I may have to join AA by August. There's a vino for ya. Gotta love living in wine country.
Now that that's all taken care of I'm pumped to be able to get back to working out. Getting really healthy again. Keep loosing weight and starting my new job on Monday! I'm stopping by Ventosa on Saturday to meet some people and get my foot in the door. Also have some questions answered for sure. Until then, I'm just taking it easy and working at Fox Run tomorrow. If anyone has nothing to do stop by and get some delicious tapas paired with some wine. 5:30-7:30. Seriously amazing food and the wine pairings are done by Heather the chef, Peter the winemaker, and Trish Peter's assistant winemaker. Totally worth it and only 20 bucks! Come on down...I'll pour ya a glass!
Cheers to being filter free and food and wine pairings! =)
