The support group meetings I wrote about on Sept 16 is not going to take place. I only had 3 or 4 responses relative to it. We contacted the many people from previous meetings by email, with no responses. I was hesitant to begin with, as my healing is not at the level I am happy with. However, the doctors are telling me that I am healing faster than they ever saw. Regardless, I cannot get around well because it is so painful to walk, and would need a lot of help to make the meetings work. Being that only a few are interested, it would be a lot of work on us for just a few people. Maybe in the future, there might be more interest. I do not mean to disappoint the few who are interested, as they are great friends of mine as a result of all this, we will not be having the group meetings at this time. I am trying to find out how to get my muscles to function better. They used TPA to dissolve the blood clots in my legs, the side effect is that it is like an acid and burned and damaged the arteries, veins, muscles and nerves. I lost my muscle tone and constantly have pain, pulsing at times, proteins aggravate it as well. I walked around the perimeter of the house, then had to lay down because of the intense pain in my legs the painful loss of breath from the pulmonary embolisms, I just deal with it, it is a process, I do stuff, then lay down, and then do more, etc. that is the way to accomplish my goals - strategy I have no criticism of any kind to the doctors involved because they did not have any choice regarding the TPA, as I would have died if they did not do what they did, therefore, I only have gratitude towards them. They were not sure that I would even survive the procedures. therefore, like any unfortunate situation, we need to move forward and smile, which I am doing. I am not a complainer, we need to deal with reality. I apologize to those that I have not returned emails or posts, I hope you understand why. you can contact the office at [email protected] or call 631-509-5311 if you cannot reach me. have a great weekend.
