There has to be something throwing those clots. Its time to stop screwing around with amatuers and go to
BOSTON! He must be on cumiden or something just like it, and still having the same problem it just isn't appropriate. Prayers being said as I type this.

I agree wholeheartedly. WE just had a bout of clots with my grandfather. (He is 88) He has been on Coumadin for approx 50 years. So when it was found out to be a clot in his leg the doctors at Brockton Hospital were dumbfounded. His hemotoligist was called in.
. His red blood cell count is too high due to a blood disorder. ( a form of cancer that attacks the bone marrow) The bone marrow is making his body produce extra red blood cells (I don't remember the technical term) For now we have him on a daily injection of lovinox (?) and hydroxyurea (sp?). In addition we have to take him once a week to be bled.
I guess the point I am trying to make is a second opinion sounds like it is needed. Something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Being stubborn could have bad consequences. I hope it doesn't and wish him well. |

Is there a mailing address that cards or well wishes could be sent,
or do you think he'd prefer to just stay in peoples thoughts as he is now?

Sorry to hear about the reoccurence of the clots.
He will be in our thoughts and prayers. My first prayer will be that his heart is moved to seek a second opinion. I'll also pray that this Doc at Kent has a brainstorm or admits defeat and sends/advises him to seek help in Boston.
Let's hope for the best and that his condition improves drastically.
Great guy, and unfortunate that his stubborness/loyalty is prolly what makes him such a good friend and a great surfcaster..................

Bill, let us know if Steve decides to go up to a REAL hospital. Kent Hospital sucks. Tell Steve he's in our thoughts and prayers. Best of luck with your surgery as well.
