Getting Mad

So today has been a day of frustration for me. It all started pretty much as soon as I woke up. I woke up feeling like the day I came home from the hospital. I had a headache, stomach ache, and was nauseous. Thankfully that went away quickly. The next frustration took place after my shower. I tested my INR and of course it was low. Not only was it low, but it as very low. I am very nervous about it being so low for a few days now because I am at higher risk to throw a clot. The clots I had over the summer was the most pain I have ever been in in my life and I have no desire to feel even a twinge of that again. I had to wait until 1 pm to go to SACI to call the hospital again so I went food shopping. I got some good food I think and some snacks to hold me over for a while. I then made some very yummy spaghetti with bolognese sauce. By the time I was done doing ALL the dishes in the apartment and eating it was about 1:30 and time for me to go to SACI. Alessia called the hospital for me, and I had her ask them if I should be on a steady dose of Warfarin. She said they told me to take a low dose like yesterday, which I think is just going to make my INR go even lower, and to ask that question tomorrow when my regular doctors are in the hospital. So there is yet another frustration. At this point I was pretty frustrated with the day and to top it off it was raining and my finger was very bruised from testing my blood this morning. UGH! I decided to not go for my walk to the river in the rain and chance getting sick again. I spent the rest of my day on my computer chatting and doing homework. Then at 5:30 the wifi in the apartment went out. The router says it is on, but no one can connect. So here we are at 8:25 and I am in the internet cafe. I am in a somewhat okay mood because I am online and getting to talk to my friends back home, but I am still extremely pissed off at the day. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
