Montrealer`s update

[Montrealer]

Hey guys. Well it`s been one Month today that I`ve been back at work. Everything`s great .....pretty much pain free except .......for the one in my ass over the freak`in frigid winter we`re having here in Montreal. My INR is a steady 3.1 and I`m down to testing once a month. Will start my self testing training with my family doctor in the next couple of weeks.
I`m taking my wife on a Caribbean cruise on April 5th. And I`m still enjoying life with my wine ,single malts and eating my greens.
It`s been 6 months since I`ve quit smoking and don`t miss it at all .....well except my cubans with my scotch but a small price to pay.
So to all of those whom are just starting the recovery stage just be patient "Time Heals All Wounds"...........Bon Soir le monde........

Thanks for the update -- it's encouraging to hear how well you are doing! Especially since I am in the early days of recovery and measure my progress in teeny tiny increments.
I have a little bit of cabin fever due to the cold weather and icy sidewalks here too. I'm glad you have the cruise to look forward to!
All the best,
Dale

Montrealer, sounds like you're getting a good handle on your life with a "valve". Keep the positive attitude.....and yeah, I miss my cigars too. Docs finally got me to quit about 5 years ago.

It's good to hear that you are back into your routine (well, minus the smokes).
Keep in touch and we will expect pics of that cruise.

Just had my check-up by the family Doctor on Friday. Night and Day he told me as he listened to my heart. I`ve gain a few more pounds and now I`ll start my new "LifeStyle" eating regime.
INR is where it should be at 3.1. BP at 134/70. Nice not to have those chest pains anymore.Getting ready for my cruise in 5 weeks . Life`s just been peachy..........


As far as living with the coumadin it`s no longer an issue. Keeping regular is the secret. I did forget my dose a few times so now I keep a few pills at work in my desk for such events...........
