More on my health today seeing as I have been in hospital and back and forth between the doctors these past few days.I woke
up Saturday morning and my urine was blood. I went straight to the
doctor who sent me straight to the hospital. The upshot of it all was
that I had a clot in my left kidney, and my body was giving me hell. I
was in so much pain.
There is a bright side. I am no longer on any medication! Why? Because
my body is passing the clot naturally and I don't have DVT anymore. The
specialist said there was no reason to be on warfarin because if I am, I
could actually aggravate another clot. Thankfully the clot happened in
my kidney and not in my lung or heart!
Glad to be alive.
And thank you again! And thank you to each and every one of you who sent me well wishes. I appreciated them more than you can imagine.
It will be a slow road to recovery, but I will get there.
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
