Re: Swollen eyelid, face and neck..in the morning

Again some goog news!!

I had the stent (2) put in yesterday and they did not do a thrombolisis as the clot was hard which mean they could mesh it over (over something like that). They are aware of my situation with regards to the trial and they said just one week heparine and 150mg aspirin (allowed) after would then now be prescribed!! the fact that it was hard made the difference allowing them to do that, thank thank thank you thank you..

I want this summer, I want the drug I am hoping for to work, have a break from all the treatments I have had that were so hard and getting back on track thank you all for your support
