JP,
Be careful with that blood clot man. That's risky business.

Some time ago I took Cumadin for a while to prevent blood clotting. Only med I've ever taken that made me feel out of sorts. Stopped taking it after a week.
You follow the Doctor's orders to the letter, you hear. You only get one chance to recover properly. Don't over-exert yourself. Stoneseller and myself don't want to be joining us in the zipper club.
btw..Your ex-wife sounds like a world class bee-itch.
