Hey guys! Remember us? :)

Had to drop in and let you guys know how everything went for us last week. We went on our first cruise since Nathan's surgery 1.5 years ago and after salads all week, wine every night (only 1-2 glasses) and an occaisonal fuzzy drink his INR didn't move. He did add an extra 2.5 to his weekly dose 2 wks prior. Interesting because he went from eating small helping of daily greens, to rather huge servings of various different salads as well as spinich dips, etc. We are wondering if it balanced with going from an extremely physically demanding job to laying around all week :D Well, not ALL week.

Most nervous thing I didn't think about until I acutally saw it was when he and our son went snorkeling for the first time since surgery. Huge waves, crashing into very large rock/coral shoreline. Our son was thrown into the rock shore sideways and did get a little banged up. Nathan as usual managed with grace :p

Still checking the boards daily, didn't get to post much over the winter due to heavy kid sporting schedules.

Take care :D
 
Sounds like Nathan's health is great and life is wonderful- keep it up!:D
 
Sounds like you guys had a great time...thats the way to do it...dont let that little pill change your lifestyle!...good to see you!
 
So glad all went well. And so very glad that the surgery has given him the ability to enjoy life!!!!
