Getting back to Normal

I went to see my pulmonologist last week and I was cleared for work this week - but I was nervous about Monday because it's such a busy day for me and I tend to get wiped out after 2 hours of an activity (and then have to take a big nap to feel normal again), so I'm going back tomorrow (Tuesday) for what will end up being more like a half day and we will see what happens!

I will get my blood drawn every week to check my INR levels and my next big appointment is next Thursday (10/11).

Next big thing to have happen is to get my filter removed (= the umbrella-like-thing that is catching my clots) and it's supposed to be removed in 4-6 weeks, so they're looking at late October.

I will keep you posted on how things are going, but with my going back to school, everything seems to be returning to normal :)  I'm just hopeful it will stay that way.  I want to go on a (small) road trip next weekend (10/12-14), but I'm not sure if I will be up to it, so we will see...
