It's been a year now since I managed to clot every major vein in my right leg and I am still not well.  The greatly diminished blood flow just seems to have exasperated everything else.  I got copies of my hospital records for my four admissions in the last year and it was kind of eye opening.  I didn't know the femoral and common femoral as well as the popiteal were completely blocked, the saphenous was clotted.  I didn't know I have Diastolic heart failure, that there is proof of mild pulmonary hypertension, that when I was on a monitor I tripped the alarms regularly with t waves and going from braccardia to tachycardia.  In the past year, I may have worked my sched twice. It's time to try for disability.  I resigned on Friday.  It was really hard.  I have always worked and always done a lot of OT.  To not be able to do 19.5 hrs a week is pretty sad.  I think I knew I was in trouble when I pulled into the parking lot one day last week and immediately started having chest pain.  So, anyway, my time with Macy's is over.  I am using what little vacation I have left and the 15th is my last day.
