Chris had a pain in his leg the last few days... just to be safe we went to the doctor yesterday....
long story short--
Chris has a blood clot in his leg.
He started blood thinners and will now be on blood thinners for the rest of his life.
Currently he is on coumadin.... there are lots of other, newer (very pricey) blood thinners but we will just wait to see what the insurance will cover.
He is doing great and does not have any real restrictions... we will have to watch his diet as many foods and meds interact with coumadin.
on a happier note... we had a great New Years...
we went to the neighbors and played games and ate (a lot).
John and Debbie (Chris' friends from high school) turned us onto a great new game called "Escape". It is a cooperative game- everybody wins or everybody looses.... it was fun. It is a bit of a chaotic game- think Pit. about 12:10 we went home- as the old folks (that is me and Chris) were tired.
Happy New Year!
hope it is great- filled with health and happiness for everyone.
