So yesterday as I attempted to attend church, it didn't turn out so well. I had a hot flash at the beginning of sacrament meeting and almost blacked out. Kevin took me out to the foyer so I could lean on him more and relax where it was much cooler. I felt better but I still had a hard time staying conscious. I coudn't keep my eyes open and was really struggling to stay awake, I mean really struggling. As soon as I took the sacrament he took me home. I laid on the bed and I think I passed out, I was dead to the world for quite a while. The rest of the day I was really tired and exhausted, having to nap quite often.

So this morning I called the hematologist to report the issues and she put me on coumadin. I'm hoping to be all better now, but I don't think so. Because I have the other blood disorder that causes low platelet counts, I'm concerned about the blood getting too thin. I honestly don't understand how I could have two different blood disorders that seem to be the exact opposite of one another. One causes low platelets or thin blood, and another one that causes blood clots and "thick" blood. How does that even make sense?

It doesn't. I guess that's why they don't know how to treat me and I have to wait so long to go see the specialist. Heh, I don't even know how long I have to wait because they haven't made the appointment yet, having waited all weekend seems like an eternity though.
