Hi Bert,

Reveille here is anywhere from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m. with pills and my first Lovenox injection.

Breakfast is around 7:30, and Matt the Physical Therapist usually arrives a little after 8 to make me wave my legs and bend them for range-of-motion.

I don't have much trouble sleeping here, so I've been saying no to the sleeping pills offered at night with the second Lovenox.

With the blinds open this morning, the sunlight finally let me see what they've been talking about when they stick me with the Lovenox--lots of small bruises from the previous blood thinner injections, making it harder and harder for them to find an unsullied spot for the new injection.

Sort of like snake venom, I remarked, and then had to reassure the nurse that I didn't think that she was a snake.

Probably a lamia, I decided after she left.

Cheersssss,

Carl Fogel
