Double A Penny - Step 20 - The Clot Thickens
It has been a rough time since my last post. After posting on Monday, a clot came out of me half the size of my fist, incredibe pain, rushed to emergency room, spent three more days in the hospital, had another catheter put in and taken out, making a total of three since this whole thing started, lots of pain killers, antibiotics, anxiety drugs, morphine, etc.
Finally, on Thursday, I was let out of the hospital and they let me walk out instead of putting me in a wheel chair and there it was!!! When I got on the elevator, a shiny dime was just lying there for DTAMP. In that moment, it felt like things were "Normal" again. A small ray of hope that perhaps life could begin again.
I was in a lot of pain, but, it was like a small tiny beacon shining there, saying, "It is all going to be OK". It made me feel better.

I've been following your blog for a while now but haven't commented yet... long time listener, first time caller as they say. I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. Hopefully everything the doctors have done has worked and there will be no more emergency trips to the hospital. Your work on this blog has inspired me to try to double to a million also. Although I know this isn't within the rules, I scavenged my apartment for loose change and found a lot more money than I thought was possible. I have a head start so I guess I "cheated" but I'm excited to use that stake as my starting point to reach a million. I did actually find a single penny outside first so I'm within the spirit of the plan.
About DTAMP, have you ever thought about going to a casino and betting it all on a 50/50 bet like red or black on the roulette table? Since it's all basically money that you wouldn't have otherwise, aren't you compelled to take high risks to grow the stake to a million? Seems like the roulette table is made for this experiment. Either you double up quickly or you lose money that wasn't really yours anyway so there's no feeling of regret.
Hi Jay,
Thanks for your comments. I have been a bit under the weather this last week. It seems the dosage of CIPRO antibiotic has caused damage to me. I am hoping what is happening is not permanent but I am not doing to well at this point.
Regarding the roulette table option. Although I have been risking the money trading the DTAMP funds, I do not think that I could personally bear the risk of losing all the money that has been gained so far.
I have become a bit more conservative lately and cautious about the risks I take.

Jay - I believe the origional plan advises against gambling. But hey .. each to their own :-) good luck.
By the way Jay I have some experience of roulette (online) You can win if you get lucky and walk away. If you dont, and most dont walk away. You will surly lose and Ive tried pretty much all the systems and software going.
Thanks Gritech,
Unfortunately the doctor gave me Ciprofloxacin and it has poisoned me. Tendinitis is setting into my tendons all over my body and I am in alot of pain.
It can last a lifetime for some people, crippling them. Others some of the symptoms pass eventually. Only a miracle healing from God will help me now.
The doctors put me on Lorazepam to help me deal with the anxiety of everything that is happening.
Things have gotten harder than I can deal with.

Xinfinitum,
I am so very sorry to hear of your health problems. Devastated is a more appropriate word. I seem to do my doubling in spurts, but I have always looked up to you as the only real doubler who keeps chugging along. It makes me really appreciate my health and my family's. Know that you are in my prayers and that I will keep the doubling dream alive no matter what. Although we've never met in real life I like to consider you a friend.
Take care - I hope your miracle comes.
Flip
Thank you Flip for your kind words and support and especially your prayers.
I have tried to keep moving forward with Doubling but it seems life keeps grinding me down until it is hard to get up to keep fighting on.
But as long as I can go on I will and maybe I may be delivered from the affliction of cancer and the Cipro damage to my body and one day be whole again.
Thank you for being a friend. It is a blessing to have you as one.
Take Care,
Xinfinitum
You're welcome. Same to you.
By the way - Did your doctor make a mistake with the Cipro, or was this a known risk that unfortunately reared its ugly head?
At the time it was unknown that I was allergic to the Cipro. Although now in hindsight looking at my records it can be seen I did record an allergic reaction to it and after that the tendinitis in my feet started.
From this latest dose the tendinitis is in my arms and biceps and my feet even worse. It doesn't look like I can drive anymore as my right foot is in so much pain I cannot stand on it.
It is in the records now that I am allergic to it but it is to late, the damage has been done.
Your prayers are greatly appreciate. I need them.
Regards,
Xinfinitum
