Some GOOD MEDICAL PROGRESS
Just wanted you all to know, had the ultrasound and ALL BLOOD CLOTS ARE GONE!! I am off Coumidin, so can pick it up a notch on the bike (not so afraid of a crash), not that I want a crash of course. Just thought I would post some good medical news for a change. Anyone else have some good progress??

Super, Linda!! Coumadin is a baaadddd actor. Glad you are off of it!!
OK some good news and maybe some not so good news. Did a bone scan with nucleur markers and it shows that the replacement is either loose or infected. So yesterday they withdrew about a cup full of my beautiflul red blook, seperated it out and only took the WBC's in with something called Indium, then they inject back into me and I had to come back this morning at 8:00 am for an hour scan to "rule out" infection, which I knew it wasn't. So know we are left with "it could be loose" or I don't know what else to think, I am leaving for my TrI camp in Tucson Friday - Friday and am only going to bike, swim and run in water, Should have some NEWS after I get back. Will try to keep you posted without to much gorey detail. But I have been laying down some darn good bike rides and feeling much for fit. They are supposed to have Olympic type swim instructors and other top "dogs" so a week in camp heaven. Can't be too exciting it is at a Motel 6, but I am just hoping there is someone born in the 1950's or later or just some really fun "real" people. I have this little girl feeling going off to camp, leaving home, not knowing anyone and hoping I will get "picked" into a group that wants a gimp....again, all my running will be with my sexy blue bulky strap and I just run in place in the deep end, with some tunes though. Bought water safe tunes off of our Olympians web site, they are water proof, you download your old fashion shuffle and put it in a safe box and plug your speical ear phones in and blast off running or swimming, can't wait. OK, pals, well gool luck to all of you and will send you pics and updates from sunny warm Tucson
Good Luck and keep us posted.
Glad your off the Coumadin and it sounds like you are headed the right direction! Take care of that knee and don't worry about Motel 6 - hopefully you'll be so tired you'll just fall into bed and sleep and won't even notice what the room looks like. Enjoy Tucson!
