Ugh ... I went months without screwing up on my drugs. I have TWO alarms set on my watch and an alarm set on my cell phone to help me remember to take them ... (which gives you some idea as to how bad my brain is)
But, I've now screwed up TWICE in a week.
My INR has been very consistent for months and we have settled into a routine of 10 MG five days a week and 15 MG on Tuesdays and Fridays. I always take the stuff between 7 and 9 p.m.
So ... I wake up on Sunday morning and realize I forgot to take Saturday's dose. I didn't call anyone, and just took it right away, and then waited until later on Sunday night (11 p.m.) to take that dose ... figured I'd spread it out a bit.
So, that episode passed.
Now, I go to take my Wednesday dose and I see that Wednesday is GONE! Not sure what happened. My only guess is that I DOUBLE DOSED last night (it was a hectic evening).
Any thoughts on what to do? Do I need to report this to my Warfarin clinic? I actually got a flu shot today and had pretty much zippo for bleeding.
Otherwise, I was just going to wait until tomorrow night and go from there.
I miss being a regular here, but that's a good sign. You people were great to have before and after the surgery.
