Hi John,

Glad to hear that they found your problem and fixed you up quickly.

I can relate to your recent stresses.  I went in as an out-patient on the 
13th to get a check of my esophagus.  I am normally on Coumadin because I 
have mechanical heart valves.  I had to transition off of Coumadin to 
Lovenox for the exam.  Two days later, I found I was losing blood from some 
location.  Had to make another run to Nashville, enter the hospital, undergo 
another exam to repair the "leak", then spent five days in the hospital to 
take on three units of blood and start things back toward normal.  I came 
home Wednesday and must remain on a liquid diet for another week, while 
trying to get my Coumadin level back where it should be.  Feeling fine, but 
didn't enjoy the experience at all.
