UPDATE (it's a long one, so bear with me):
I've had a rare blood clotting disorder all my life (it's called ITP... or Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Popura)... this disorder is the one that the anti-cholesterol medication commercials warn you about... "if you experience muscle pain or leg weakness this could be the sign of a rare but dangerous side-effect". This disorder prevents your blood platlettes from sticking together... these platlettes are what cause clots in the arteries. Put 2+2 together now, there's no reason I should ever have had a heart attack, or should ever have a stroke. The attending physician came to me while I was at Loma Linda (think I mentioned this already) because I'm an anamoly that should not exsist... They ran full blood screen on me to see what else could have caused the clog. They figure my cholesterol has to be sky-high. So I received a call from my nurse case-manager at Kaiser today to go over my lab results. My cholesterol ended up being... Drum-roll please... 150 Which is considered GOOD. They have NO IDEA why I had a heart attack, or any kind of arterial blockage whatsoever. I don't know whether I should be relieved or concerned. I mean this means I could just have another one out of nowhere??? I'm glad the recovery is going well!
