The magic number for today is 2.7, which is in the therapuetic range of 2-3 but I have a feeling that it wont stay the same, in range, all the way until wednesday when I get rechecked.
I went to the gym and was going to work out, I am significantly overweight and need to work on that desprately for health and self esteem issues. My pulse rate was too high to be cleared to work out. I will try again tomorrow my target time and target speed are both crazy slow but that is where I need to start
Migraines shut this day down again. I am getting tired of even having the ability to type the dang word.
It was anywhere between 102 to 108 today for the high no wonder it is toasty.

Boy has life been busy
When I last posted I was still in the hospital as a patient trying to get the newest development in my healthcare journey under control....the multiple (minimum 4 2 on in each lung) bilateral pulmonary embolisms or is it emboli?
Life has yet to slow down for me family or me for that matter
Lets start with my bubba, who is stationed in Germany with the Army. He had a recheck for his knee and his ankle. The left knee and the right ankle. His ankle is healing okay he broke a bone in it when he was home in the states on leave best we can guess. His knee is another matter it is not healing appropriately so they are going to have to try a meniscus transplant in Germany and he will recover over there since he has friends both military and non who can help to take care of him and make sure he does not do too much.
Mom- she spent a couple of nights in the hospital with an aggrevation of her inner ear edema due to the stress of life in general and me and my brother. It hit her at work when she was down in the ER where she was floated to. She got real dizzy and was sitting down at the desk doing nurses notes and she had to grab on to the desk to stop the sensation that she was going to fall over. There was nausea and vomiting and fears of Meiners Disease or syndrome but since she doesn't have the hearing loss her diagnosis is still the less serious inner ear edema which can be treated with 2 simple medications.
Me- My INR still hasn't held itself in the therapuetic range for what I am being treated for. Therapuetic is 2-3, and my latest one is 3.3 that is what it was on monday I get it checked again tomorrow and it is going to be on the low end of acceptable to out of range just based on symptoms and side effects that I get with the coumadin being out of range. Migraines are out of control in both frequency and duration and depth of pain. We increased the one preventative that is worth the risk of the side effects and the sedating effects and have to give it a minimum of 2 weeks to get therapuetic. therapuetic seems to be a popular word in my life lately. Other problems are high heart rate, both at rest and activity, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
So if these areas could be thought of and lifted up to the God of Ages who can answer all our requests I would appreciate it.
