I had to go to Miami on Tuesday for a business trip. Along the way I stopped in New Orleans to pick up a co-worker. She and I had never met but since I had to go over N.O. to get to Florida I figured I'd stop there and meet up with her and we'd continue on together. She's a very nice person, about the same age as me, she has an older daughter and a new baby (9 mos old), we had some things in common and enjoyed a nice chat during our flight. :chat: About half way through the trip she said long flights make her nervous , I asked why and she said because she has a blood clotting disorder, which she was on meds for, and she had had a DVT and a pulminary emobolism. I thought wow! :yikes: this is really strange. I asked what kind of meds, coumadin, I asked what the name of her disorder was, Lupas Anticoagulant. Now I didn't know until 3 or 4 weeks ago what the name of my blood disorder was and had never heard of it and couldn't find much information on it so to now be sitting next to a co-worker who had the same thing I had was very interresting to say the least. She was diagnosed in '98 and has been on coumadin since then, she doesn't see a hematologist like I do but we were able to exchange some information and it was really neat.
