I'm home from the hospital and so thankful for all the peeps that care about me and pray for me. I'm sure that's what got me through it. It will take weeks for the blood clots in my lungs and legs to dissolve and get absorbed into my body. I'll be on Xarelto (blood thinner) for at least 3 months and will be having lung function testing. The echocardiogram showed the right side of my heart is a bit enlarged but since the ventricle looked normal they aren't too worried about it. I'm a lucky lady to be alive and to have so many friends out there pulling for me.Thank you so very much!!!! love and peace MAK

Sorry you're still having physical problems, MAK, but glad the blood clots were caught before they could do any damage. I hope its smooth sailing for you now with no more hospitalization & just doing what you want to do! Still sending prayers your way!

I love that name...when I saw it, my first thought was that I needed to tell Bev. They have a cam at the Genesee power station in Alberta...would love for them to use that name for one of their chicks...except, I don't think they name the chicks there...LOL

I know Bev has a tie to the name Genesee!

When submitting names, we have to write up a description to tie the name to Falcons and here's what I wrote:

"The Genesee River flows through the heart of Rochester. Flowing northward from PA through New York, it is a tributary of Lake Ontario. It was seen in the early days to be a hydropower bonanza, providing original power to the 19th century mills and still provides hydroelectric power for downtown Rochester. The Genesee is also known for its beautiful and powerful waterfalls. High Falls is a famous part of the Genesee and is where many young Falcons have trained to fly before leaving Rochester."

I tried to give a connection with Beauty being from PA and DC being from Ontario plus
I live in Genesee County (Rochester is in Monroe Co.) so it was another reason I loved the name! :dancingegg:
