I have scrupulously avoided after the last year or so the many stories of Anti-v**xers meeting their end from the v***s. A) because I would look like a lowlife ghoul, and B) I would feel like a lowlife ghoul, and C) I would be a lowlife ghoul. So this thread is all about me, in a way, and those embarrassing, and sometimes deadly, pie-in-the-face awakenings. Those who have died over their misinformed beliefs about C***d have my respect.

On Thursday, I was scheduled for an MRI at 8:45 and an Ultra Sound at 3:30. I had already decided to forego the Ultra Sound because I did not think the edema in my right foot was crucial. In the almost four years that I have been pretty much been at the mercy of the Medical Industry, as wonderful as my treatments have been in their hands, I have had edema off and on in both feet; it seemed like a waste.

As God would have it, due to cancellation on the Ultra Sound, I was to have it before my MRI. I objected, said it was a waste of time, No! This very smart nurse in charge of the procedure read me easily and with a smile kind of admitting that she was manipulate me, which I liked, I said, "You got me." We both sort of chuckled.

The results of the Ultra Sound that I was convinced was utterly unnecessary showed potentially deadly clots in my lungs and leg. So much for my best thinking. But my dopiness was worse: I had decided to stop the Warfarin I was supposed to take to avoid clots because it would delay surgery on my lung cancer; you can't have blood thinners. Hoho, so I was to blame for the life-threatening clots. That Crow Pie in my face was not tasty. Lucky God was around to rearrange my day.

Good luck with your ongoing medical situation... I feel lucky that I have avoided the doctors for most of my life but I understand what you are going through as I have a brother in a similar situation...

Rumi, I’m a little confused. You told this story two days ago, did you forget telling us? Perhaps you should take some time to rest. Not getting enough rest and sleep causes forgetfulness.

rumitoid

Wow, you are such a BS artist.

My, my! How very tolerant of you!!

You misspelled "heartless." If you're going to insult someone you should at least spell it correctly. (Especially if it contains any references to "stupidity.")
