??? Here I set in the hospital for a 3rd day, and I wonder what I should do. Two months ago had leg pain after working hard on my friends property getting on and off a tractor. I thought I pulled something in my leg and never gave it much thought. I flew to Arizona to work on my 93 year old mom's home right right after I got done helping out my friend on his property. A few hours after I got off the plane I started coughing and thought I had a sinus infection.
I stayed in Arizona just over three weeks the cough was bad and I thought I would see my doctor when I got home. A went in to see my doctor a week after I got home and he also thought I has a sinus infection and started me on antibiotics.
It did not clear up and went back to see the doctor two more times and I went through a second round of antibiotics. I went back to see the doctor 3 days ago the cough was still bad, bad enough I would get in coughing fits break into a sweat.
The doctor sent me in for a ct scan and two blood clots were found one in each lung one Im told one is very big. I was sent right to a room in the hospital and treatment was started. Now Im told I will be on blood thinners for then next year maybe longer.
My wife and doctor want me to stop riding, saying with the blood thinners if I was to have an accident I would have a good chance of bleeding to death. I will not lie that thought does scare the hell out of me. I told my wife I would stop riding of the year.
So what do you think? Have any of you been in the same boat? I would like to hear your thoughts or advice... Thanks
