I retired in january 2,000. I was going to go to truck driveing school later that summer and start driveing 2001 and see the country and get paid for it. I was single then. I had some drunk t-bone me that summer and didnt go to the doctor. Had a lump on my knee and didnt worry about it untill I got hit with a pulmanary embolism that about killed me. They put me on warfarin for a couple of years and then took me off of it. Meanwhile the doctor said truck driveing was a no go. I also got married. We took a long drive to wisconsin and I got another lump on my knee. They then put me back on warfarin for good. I had to get off it a few times since for other nose surgerys and then they give me lubinox shots in the gut twice a day. (Wife gives me the shots when that happens as I found she is far better at it than the nurse`s were.)
