Beta #3

I did not have a good morning.  I was supposed to go in for my 3rd (and hopefully final) beta.  I've left home both of the other mornings around 8:30-8:40.  This morning should have been no different.  BUT, around 8:40, I started coralling Jax into the mud room so I could close him up while I was gone.  (He has a bad habit of playing with the Christmas ornaments from the tree.)  As I was closing the door to the mud room, our clock fell off the wall...glass went EVERYWHERE.  I cleaned up the big pieces, but really didn't have the time (or resources available) to clean up all the little pieces.  I decided it would have to wait, and I called my mom on the way to town to make sure what I was planning to do was the right thing.  It was, but she insisted on coming over to help since I AM taking blood thinner...

But, I digress.  Today's number was 1788.  Not quite double, but the nurse assured me that it was fine since Wednesday's "over" doubled.  That gave a doubling time of 62 hours between tests 2 and 3.  I think as long as it is within 72 hours it's okay, right?

Then, I went to the dreaded Wal.Mart to pick up a couple of last minute gifts (as in, I didn't know we were giving these people gifts until Wednesday).  Couldn't find what I was looking for, so had to settle on something else.  Mom needed a new candle for one of her windows.  Couldn't find that either.  It was not a good morning.

J gave the "new" pharmacy a piece of his mind last night.  Now, they'll probably taint my Lov.enox.  I don't really care as long as it gets here before 9:00 Monday night.  Don't these people know they are stressing me out!?!?  I'll share the full story as soon as it has a conclusion.  (And it had better be a happy one!)

Hugs and love,
