I will not use quote as this will be extra long....my last update was long enough as it is aaaand I will have another quick update that I  will post later this evening as I had another appointment today that I had completely forgotten until I got a reminder from Outlook!

Thank you all for the support    The owner, helpers and members on this forum are THE BEST!!!

Yes, the post was long with a lot of information lol.....I am still digesting and trying not to get emotional when I talk or write about it!  Should be ok in a couple of days 

I did look at various blood thinners and Brilinta, the one I am currently on, I don't have side effects.  It's effects are also reversible.  Heparin, which the rheumatologist mentioned in case I need it, has non reversible effects....but it's not clear what is irreversible....this can be good or bad depending on the situation. I would prefer being put on one that is reversible.

I love the saying about cracking cars.   Hope this will be my case!

I don't have varicose veins....not yet.  The pain is really due to the statin.

Talking to my family will be really tough...will wait till I fully digest before having a conversation...I am going there this weekend again as they need my hubby to do plumbing work so might take the opportunity to talk.  It's going to be hard as on the other hand, I don't want them to panic, worry, stress, etc  They are 75.....

Getting affairs sorted is easy.  Plus I had one of my employee who lost her husband (hospital at fault and she won her case) but I saw her scrambling to find papers and other things....it took  a really long time to finalize everything.  I do NOT want my hubby to go through that!  I want to make it as easiest as possible.

I don't plan on going yet though!  You ain't getting rid of me and my playlists any time soon 

Tiny Tim will wake anyone from a coma....or kill them!  If I end up pushing daisies after that, I will go on a haunting trip.....somewhere in France....will switch the music to rap every time you try to listen to music 

I believe my doctor is from Roumania.  She is awesome!!!!!  Just difficult to hear properly on speaker phone.  I am getting used to a lot of accents as I work with IBM consultants and there's a lot of different nationalities but none are from Roumania.....

Reading and replying is perfect and what I need!  I will get through this...just need to learn to listen to my body and take action right away instead of enduring or waiting till it passes.

True that none of us know when we will go....could be perfectly healthy and get hit by a bus tomorrow and pass away..  

I could be lucky and be a cracking car that lasts a long time!  I did say I was a Chevette
