I've been tagged...

Here are the rules. Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven people to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

Seven random things...

1). I must've had my face painted on cuz even though I graduated from high school 18 years ago, people still recognize me (and I usually don't have the foggiest idea who they are...)

2). Even though I don't know what it is yet, I know for a fact that God has a purpose for me here (I was born with a lot of medical issues and wasn't expected to live...even today, I've had some pretty serious stuff happen and here I am)

3). I'm still close friends with a person I met in the sixth grade.

4). I've lived in San Diego now for almost 25 years.

5). I have 31 first cousins (my mom's the youngest of nine)

6). I've always wanted to travel across the country.

7). I absolutely love being a tourist here in San Diego.

I saw the...

doctor yesterday for a follow up from my procedure. Everything looks great. A correction to my previous post...the blood clot had resolved itself (the body automatically resolves clots on its own), that's why there wasn't any. The clot had done damage to the vein though, leaving scar tissue. After they had inserted the stent, blood flow was well restored. I go back in another three months to see if things are still holding...

Great news

Well, it turns out that I didn't have a blood clot after all. Think it was just a collapsed vein; I now have a stent to keep it open. Thank you all for all your prayers that we sent my way. I truly believed they helped.

Hospital visit (con't)

Turns out that my procedure's going to be postponed until Monday, the 23rd. My coumadin level came back to high for them to do it safely. So, barring anymore complications, Monday it is...

Hospital visit

Well, I've decided to have the procedure to dissolve my blood clot. I go in this Wednesday and probably'll stay in the hospital until - maybe through - the weekend. I unfortunately had to cancel my trip to L.A., but I'm glad I'm gettin this done; even though I'm getting a little nervous and scared.

Happy Easter

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy and Blessed Easter. As you know, today is Good Friday, which is when our Lord went to the cross for us. For those of you who don't know, during Lent, us Catholics couldn't eat meat on Fridays; which symbolizes the 40 days and nights Christ spent in the desert.

Love ya'll.

Prayer request

I have a difficult decision to make. As most of you know, I have a blood clot in my leg. I've had nothing but trouble (with pain and swelling) since being diagnosed at the end of January. I briefly saw a vascular surgeon yesterday - through yet another emergency room trip. He said he could perform a procedure that would dissolve the clot, which would essentially give me my life back (meaning I can walk long distances and not depend on my parents so much for rides everywhere). I need your prayers in helping me decide what the right thing to do is. The other option is to wear this hideous looking stocking that would alleviate the swelling.

I want to have the procedure and just be done with it; but that would require a 3-4 day stay in the hospital. I need to get back to him sometime next week, if not Monday.

Please say prayers.
