Mark,
I understand your confusion and frustration! I hope and pray that my doctor and I are making the right choices regarding my therapy (or lack thereof!). I go back and forth on whether or not to take a daily low dose aspirin, or maybe to take it every other day... My hematologist wants me to take a low dose aspirin daily. Some foods and supplements help make the blood less likely to clot. I believe I have posted this web site before (which lists 10 foods that may help prevent strokes), but here it is again: stroke.about.com/od/strok...p/food.htm

I agree with your thoughts about God knowing what he is doing with your body and life. It's impossible for us to see the really "BIG" picture of our lives that God sees and knows --or for us to fully understand "a time for every purpose under heaven"...

Best wishes,
Sharon
