Hello everyone, sorry its taken me so long to update, but ive been feeling so bad lately. Ive talked to evelyn and she suggested i post my problem.
IVe been going to the coumadin clinic at my doctors office to have my blood checked. Well last monday i went and my level was at a 4.8 the doctor told me not to take anymore coumadin until i saw her on wednesday. I saw her on wednesday and had my blood checked again and it was at 4.2. She again told me not to take anymore coumadin until i saw her friday. I saw her friday and my blood was checked again and it was at 3.8. She told me not to take any coumadin this weekend until i see her tomorrow for my blood check again. So i have not taken any coumadin since monday. Does this sound right to anyone? I ve been listening to her and doing what she tells me as she is the doctor and i assume she knows what she is talking about, but it just does not sound right to me not to take any coumadine. I dont want to have a stroke.
This surgery for me has been awful. First they send me home from the hospital way to soon, then i wind up back in the hospital because they overmedicated me on blood pressure pills etc. All last week i couldnt keep anything down. I still have a hard time eating, but i force myself to eat when i take my pills. My incisions have gotten infected, but have since gotten better with antibiotics . All i seem to do latelly is cry at the drop of a hat. I told my mom the other day i think i was better off before they did the surgery on me because i just cant seem to bounce back back as quickly as i should have.
I hope someone can help me with the coumadin things. I just dont think this doctor really knows what she is talking about .
