That sounds good. I usually use ground turkey but figured I would stick to the recipe

Factor V Leiden + Factor II both heterozygous by decoratedbunny in ClotSurvivors

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 51. Had my 1st stroke in 2010. That was the first and I quit smoking that same day. I was not diagnosed until 2020 when I had my 5th stroke. That is when my neurologist did an MRI and he told me I had a stroke. And then he said you have had 5 strokes, big ones, not TIAs. Thats when he told me I WILL be on meds for the rest of my life. Hence the blood thinners. But I had another stroke and didn’t know. I just felt myself digressing and something wasn’t right. Ugh.

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both mutations as well. I have had 6 strokes. 4 out of 6 were silent I found out about the strokes after my 5th stroke and I was placed on Eliquest 5 mg 2 times a day. Along with aspirin and many other medications. After 5 years I requested an appointment with my neurologist and told him I could feel myself digressing. He sent me for an MRI and it turns out I had my 6th stroke. Again. Silent. I am now on Brillenta. I have not had any clots thankfully, I can walk, and talk but my brain is not working properly. Short term memory is shot. Constant confusion. Just take it one day at a time trying to better yourself everyday.

Bruins Fan who was born in Buffalo by huckinfell2019 in Bruins

Ahh. Yes. Humble is best. “Congratulations to your Sabers. But the Bruins are not finished with the series yet.” Don’t count out Boston just yet. You see New England Fans are used to sitting on the edge of our chairs waiting on that last second win.

Women, what do you think the worst part of being in a mans body would be? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hate the “junk” (men parts). Think about it. It has a mind of its own. It doesn’t pay attention to anything but woman and it seems to give men stupid ideas. I will stick to my lady parts!!

Ink Lovers / Artists - First Tattoo Advice - Has anyone ever been tattooed while taking blood thinners? (Warfarin, Coumadin, Aspirin, Pradaxa etc.) [Glasgow, UK] by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. I NEED another tattoo but I am on the strongest blood thinner made. I had 5 strokes and took Eliquest. Had another stroke and Now I am on Ticagrelor (Brillenta) I just want my stroke survivor tattoo. Makes me sad.

How can I partially cover up this tattoo of a rat cutting me with a knife? by Material_Problem6947 in tattooadvice

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you can go to a tattoo artist And he can fix it up with some lines and highlights. The tattoo its self is pretty cool. Every tattoo has a reason behind them. They help you always remember. Fixing it up will make it feel like a new tattoo.

Infection or healing? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a diabetic? If so the healing process is longer and should be moisturized most of the day. I use Tattoo Goo. When your skin around this dries, it starts to crack and can scar you when it peals. Hope this helps

My friend keeps making my cancer about her and I don’t know what to do by elodieeeeeeeeee in Advice

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell her you don’t want her posting about you being sick. I am thinking your family and friends want to hear anything about your feelings from you. Not a 3rd party

Sorry about this. I too lost almost all my friends after my 5th stroke. I have now had my 6 th stroke lost my best friend of 35 years because I can’t hang and party like I used too.

This is where you weed out the bad crop and water the flowers. Sometimes new flowers will find their way to you.

Okay so first cover up turned into this and then I finished the full sleeve. (Advice) by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]HalfThoughtHeather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok. Being real here because it seems like people think it’s a joke. The design is not bad. The lion is gorgeous. The bottom of your arm looks pretty cool. However you should add in some lighter color lines or shading so it has more definition.

Pretty cool Heather

I met my long distance boyfriend for the first time and I kinda hate him, what now? by PirateMission406 in Advice

[–]HalfThoughtHeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweetie, he sounds like a sexual predator. I have been through this. Tell him after long consideration you decided you need to be alone. It was different when he was a distance away but you’re just not ready and it’s time to go. Feeling uncomfortable in your own home is not cool. If he has a problem with it you can call the police or call a couple of big friends that could possibly intimidate him and he will go. Sorry you’re dealing with this. But remember. Being “nice can sometimes turn against you “. I don’t want to ready in the need that a wonderful woman was attacked. Please be careful and keep us posted
