Antiphospholipid Syndrome is what I have, or so they tell me.
I need to be on Coumadin, (anti-coagulants), for the rest of my life to prevent more blood clots...strokes, heart attacks, embolisms, etc... So, I'm a bleeder...and I need to avoid things that might make me bleed...and that includes banging my head even with a helmet... I guess they can't make me stop racing, but... Of course I haven't asked Amy's opinion yet.... ![]() That should be fun... Sh!t....gonna be along winter.... Not looking for anyone here to tell me what to do...just needed to vent a bit... Gettin' old sucks... ![]() Later, Bob Edited by Baatfam - 14 August 2009 at 3:07pm |

Bob,
Your life means more then riding a bike. Sell the bike and get a car. See you at the track.

I'm a so-called "bleeder" too since a few months ago. Doctor's nurse mentioned same thing about not doing anything that could cause me to bleed after explaining the medicine I would be on. Not even to get a scratch. Good luck on that one I told her...work in a factory and it's going to happen...fact of life. Well...asked doctor during check-up later about racing bikes and he said that I would be fine and would only bleed a little longer and a little easier but as long as I don't play with running chain-saws, etc. I would be fine. He said it would be fine to race the bike. I just try to be careful but have noticed I do bleed easier and it lasts a little longer but that's all. I am getting bike back together now so I can at least get in some racing this year.

Bob, check this one out.....
IMPRESSION: There is a large right paracentral-medial foraminal disc herniation at C5-C6 and a smaller right paracentral disc herniation at C6-C7. There is also disc material bridging these two levels, traveling down the right lateral recess. It is unclear whether this represents extrusion with superior migration from the C6-C7 level or an extrusion with inferior migration from the C5-C6 level. The disc material impinges on the right C6 and C7 nerve roots. The only thing I'm sure of is that it's really uncomfortable, all the time. I can already hear the response from the dr. when I tell him what my hobby is and ask when I can start racing again. I may be walking around with you taken pictures this summer. ![]() Bill ps Looks like I may have to change my signature line. |
