You would think I have nothing to complain about. For the last three (successful) tests, my INR has come in at 2.8. I was thrilled. But at the same time I a little concerned. You see, I am NOT a very consistant eater. I am aware of this, and TRY to be good, but sometimes a salad sounds good, and other times it just doesn't... So how in the world am I managing to hit the same exact number three times in a row (over the course of 4 or 5 weeks)? One thing that is making me wonder about the number is that I started getting little bruises all over my legs this week. So why, when it's the same INR, would I get bruises THIS week, but not last week, or the week before??? Also, I've had quite a few error testings the last month or so. Mostly "air bubble" errors, but once or twice I got a "not enough blood" message, even though there was still blood left over in the tenderlett cup... I've had my ProTime for over a year now (has it REALLY been that long?!), and this is really the first time I've had errors, other than at the very beginning when I was still learning. Anyone have an explaination??? Could there be something wrong with my machine? Or am I just being a worry-wart and should just be happy I'm finally getting consistant???
Thanks all.
