Clarification

I forgot to put in my post that i did not end up having to have surgery! Which is a huge deal and I can't believe I left that out- ha! This was awesome news and I am so glad we did not have to overcome that obstacle. We are just doing meds to alleviate the pressure and thin my blood because of the clot. Also, after talking to the doctors yesterday I am a lot clearer on the details of my situation. Basically my clot started in my sinuses and moved back to the brain behind my ear (which explains where I was having pain initially). Once a vein clots, it typically does not un-clot and become a vein again like I thought in the beginning. It becomes scar tissue, and your body adapts and pushes blood through other veins. I thought this was pretty cool. So- my body is adapting and adjusting and it will just take some time. They measure progress by monitoring my blood levels- not by taking scan after scan of my brain. I thought this was weird at first but now I am more understanding of the process. In other news, doctor has still not called me back about the appointment time tomorrow which is getting on my nerves. I am ready to see this doctor ASAP so ol' girl better be hitting me up in the next hour or i'll be calling her back. I seriously have the patience of a 2 year old. I have got to work on that!
