…..I Am Home…I Am Home…I AM HOME!…..

…..I Do have to give myself stomach injections of enoxaparin twice daily…..

…..BUT I AM HOME!…..

The nurses laughed watching me give myself shots…..

They said it was obvious I was more used to giving shots to the farm animals…..

…..they coached me on how not to “fist” an injection…(you farmers out there know what I’m talking about)…..

I’ve always been very active…I thought I was helping insure my heart-health…..

…..hmmmmm…..

…..I Was Not Expecting This One…(but honestly…I will be sixty-nine this month)…..

We haven’t gotten to the bottom of everything yet…but we will…..

I hate the follow-up doctor’s appointments…but they’re necessary…that’ll be where the answers are…..

I’m making lemonade…but…I’m friggin’ tired of swiggin’ friggin’ lemonade…..

…..(a mediocre bourbon and coke would be preferable)…..

…..(plus I’d like to point out it would qualify as a blood-thinner too)………….(of sorts)…..

As you can see…I’m not a good patient…..

I loved when they asked if I’d fallen in the last month(?)…..

What?…You mean…when I was trampled by the goats?…or knocked over by a zealous Wolfhound?…or got my boot hung up in a root?…You are Joking…Right?…..

I thought I’d prepped for good heart-health…..

…..in the past…I literally ran my toenails off…to help insure good aerobic health…..

…..my heart-stats were great…my recovery time was even better…..

…..(maybe I should’ve opted for pretty pedicures and pretty feet instead?)…..

Oh well…it is what it is…..

The hypoxia (lack of oxygenated blood) got fairly dramatic…(…Hypoxia?…)…it started dropping to 75% (it should be in the 90’s)…and that was just walking around the pasture…..

…..(okay…maybe that’s not quite true)…..

I wasn’t just “walking”…I was really fixing the electric fencing…for a number of hours…in the heat of the day…and usually upside-down…..

……(but I knew if I told the doctors…they’d just focus on “that”…and not on “why” it happened)…..

They were surprised I made it back to the house without passing out…(at only 75% oxygenation/at sea level)…..

…..(I may have had to cling to a few fence posts…tree trunks…and Wolfhounds to get back to the house—but that’s my secret…they don’t need to know that either…shhhhh)…..

I knew I was in trouble when I started arguing with my new work gloves…(they were talking back and very judgy and totally uncooperative)…..

Hey…compliant work gloves are a must…..

So the transient hypoxia needs to be medically addressed and figured out…the lung clots need to be re-absorbed…..

…..(at least the fencing’s been fixed)…..

My older daughter filled in writing my blog posts for me…..

Thank God!…..

…..(and I may have been frenetically obnoxious about that one)…..

…..(and that’s an under-statement)…..

I did get lectured (excessively & repeatedly) by the same daughter…..

She said…I can’t expect to return to working like I did when I was in my thirties…(?)…..

…..hmmmmm…..

Well………….poop…..
