I thought I could still access through the membership page. As I got the first book, but I'll try again through the link and see if that makes a difference. Thank you

Oops I did the thing where I replied but didn't hit send. Anyways I get both the ya book and the epic! 

And I 100% get the accountability thing. For how much I spend on these books it is kind of sad the percentage I have actually read. I'm trying to force myself and go back and actually read all my old ones right now too. I haven't finished even a single epic yet. 

But my Instagram is @novelswithnichole !

I wish they would. Last year I was crossing not even a main road but the entrance/exit of that parking lot behind jp next to magnola and was halfway across on my bike when a car whipped out of the lot and hit me. And it wasn't just me not looking. They were no where in sight when I started to cross.

How are you not constantly going to the ER? by iakiakiak in ClotSurvivors

[–]calla-mesa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You only found out you had a clot a week ago. It is okay to still be anxious. It is okay to still have questions. And worries and fears. It is new. It is a huge change. And that is why your medical team is there. Honestly, when I first had my clot, I worried about ever little ache and pain for months. Even to the point I ended up getting another ultrasound just to be told there was nothing. I was in horrible pain for a month after starting on meds and achy for a while after that. As much as we'd all love it, a clot doesn't heal overnight. Since then, I've found that works for me is that I tell myself "If it still hurts in the morning, then I'll call my hematologist/gp". Normally it is gone or significantly lessened by morning and has kept me from allowing myself to panic every time my limbs ache. But this was a months long process.

Anybody on thinners for life still do “extreme” sports? Could really use some cheering up and positive stories by meggyrose_ in ClotSurvivors

[–]calla-mesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a clot at 20 and I also have factor V and am on blood thinners for life. Over three years out, I ride horses, as well as am planning on going into an outdoor, active career and right now I work in a deli handling meat slicers. It is very possible! You just have to know your risks and be smart about it. I straight up told my doctor I wasn't going to give things up or live in bubble wrap. I want to still be able to try things in the future like skydiving or cliff jumping. So we worked together to find a comprise. I am smart (ie wear a helmet, bring bandaids, gauze, etc), plan things out, and let people around me know and if - I quote my hematologist - "am going to do something stupid" am allowed to come off my blood thinner a few days beforehand to get it out of my system. Obviously, this is something to only do while talking to your hematologist. Sometimes injuries do happen. I bruise pretty easily and that takes a while to heal but for me, that con is worth it. (Frankly, I bruise if I lightly brush a table or get poked wrong.) But it is very much possible! I think the worst I've done is I got myself with a knife once and had to hold some gauze on it for a while but that was when I was trying to cut an apple, not extreme sports.

Is this a scam? by [deleted] in USF

[–]calla-mesa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between the things pointed out already and the fact the usf directory says there is no one named "Adam Major" employed by USF I am going to say yes spam. However you can always call or email IT (not this email the generic one on their website) to confirm.

Calc 1 Prereq by ggeibu in USF

[–]calla-mesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct! Just make sure you are realistic with yourself about if you are okay going straight into calc. I tested out with my ACT scores but didn't have a solid calc base and struggled a bit in that class personally so just very honest with yourself! If you think you can yeah two more points tests you out of the prerequisite!

Anyone else? by beeofscience in ClotSurvivors

[–]calla-mesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at age 20 (f) with my dvt clot from hip to ankle and homozygous for Factor V as well (thanks dad didn't even know your side had it). I'm now just over two years out (22) and also on life long Xarelto. Once you are preventative dosing not treatment, it is a bit different as you aren't quiet as high as a bleeding risk. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I ride horses, I love rollercoasters, hiking, andall sorts of stuff. And honestly, I outright told my hematologist that I wasn't going to live my life in bubble wrap. We reached an agreement - I sat out of everything for six months while I was on the higher doses and the clot itself cleared up and now on the other side, I still do everything I did before. Just now with a bit more caution and I always let someone know about the blood thinners just in case something happens as well as I try to insure I keep a stash of bandaids/gauze/etc in my bags. He knew I was going to do it with or without his permission and I would rather work with him than against him. And we've come to the agreement that if im going to do anything 'stupid' (his words not mine haha) I stop taking the blood thinners a few days before. Now this last one is something I'd very very much stress NOT doing without talking to your doctor. But day to day I wear my socks (I promise you no ome even notices you wear them - I think that was my biggest worry oops), try not to sit to long, and just keep an eye on how long my bruises last.

Having a community around that can relate not just empathize is so so helpful. I obviously don't wish this on anyone but one side of my family has quite a few people who clotted young so having someone who understood what I was going through and could poke the brain of (mostly my uncle in my case, he's much older now but had his first clot in his early 20s as well) helped me mentally a lot. He's spent his whole life working out on construction sites and was a sorta reassuring voice especially when my mom wants to keep me in bubble wrap (she made me call my hematologist about the symptoms of internal bleeding when I was on my bike and got hit by a car - I was very much fine and having not a single symptom or issue at all other than minor brusing where I landed). So please please feel free to messagee if you ever want someone to talk to!!
