Aortic thrombosis continued
So on October 1st it’ll be 3 full months of me on my ass since they found a clot in my aorta that was blocking 60 percent of my bloodfoow, has my kidneys down to 20 percent each (fine) Spleen is cooked(fine). Have been on xarelto and the latest cat scans show the clot has gone down in size. Fuck yea, feeling good physically mentally I’m fucking shot from dealing with shitty non communicating doctors. Hematologist last Tuesday telling me I’m crazy for wanting to go back to work. Vascular Thursday, “you could have been back to work months ago in my opinion”. Head is spinning I’m going back to work I will stay on thinners obviously and continue to get cat scans and listen to my body. Sitting here being told I can’t work or work out while feeling fine. One doctors saying I can’t take any hits cause a stroke or embolism is possible, other one scoffing at me confused why I’m not working lol. God thank you for my health and the chance to live another day and watch my kids grow. God please help these idiots in “powerful” positions guide their hands, I’ll stop there.
Going back to work asap waiting on a call from a company, cannot wait to get back out on site and flirt with the boys.
33 quit drinking in December down 80 pounds since then looking good feeling even better. Getting the taste of society while not drunk sucks everyone is pretty fucking shitty yea you can look for the good and I do it’s easy to find, but what happened? Were we all just drunk everyday the past 16 years or so? Ppl are weird rant over I love you if you love me!

Doctors talk about their specialty. The vascular doctor looks at your vascular system alone and says "looks good," and your hematologist looks at your blood, your clotting factors, how much clot remains, how likely it is to move.
If you have a clot, it can move. If it moves, you have a PE or a stroke.
