Other than the inconvenience of Daily Testing, it looks like things are going WELL for you Carole. Sticking with 4 mg is a GOOD idea. That way, you will finally have a History with a Single Fixed Dose from which *small* adjustments can be made to 'ease' you into your desired range IF the 4's don't get you there. Since you are still increasing *slowly*, I would stick with the 4's for a few more days to see where it settles out, then think about adjustments.
In retrospect, your Coumadin Clinic Nurse's plan was SAFE and seems to be working out OK. Maybe she isn't all bad after all, and I'll bet she learned a thing or two from this experience :=)
