Foot Surgery Update


Today I found out that I don't have to take blood thinner anymore. I have been on it for 6 months. People that have foot surgeries should have a very low percent (1% or less) of getting a blood clot. This being said, they don't really know if it was the surgery that caused me to get a blood clot. Because of that I will be taking an aspirin a day to help prevent me ever having a blood clot again. I feel so blessed that Coumadin was around to be able to help me and save my live, but I also feel very blessed that I can stop taking the stuff. This is truly something to be thankful for!
As for my foot. I haven't been released from the doctor yet. I am hoping that my next appointment in December will be the last one.

I feel like a rotten friend! I didn't even know you had foot surgery! Hope you're feeling better. You keep a very nice updated blog, by the way. I'm impressed. Take care! XOXO
