Jimmy: I hear ya on that. My wife had her blood clots discovered in May, and
the docs put her on 2mg of Coumadin, twice a day, trying that PT-INR
(whatever that stands for) to a certain number as it was VERY low. Then ,
they changed her to 3mg, twice a day, then 5mg twice a day. Well, that got
it too high cause the stuff don't work instantly as you know. So, they
wanted that number to be between 1 and 2, but it shot up to 4 or 5. So, the
slow taper DOWN began. But, they WILL get it regulated, you'll just have to
be patient with them. Also, I have always cooked meals with my wife, or
cooked myself when she's working, but she is not even supposed to cut up
onions, bell peppers, meat or ANYTHING, cause if she gets cut, it takes
forever to stop the bleeding, but that is MUCH , MUCH better than what the
alternative could have been. Also, now, if she were to "thump" herself, the
next day, there is a HUGE bruze. Again, MUCH better than the alternative of
still having blood clots. But anyway, I will keep you (and Jody) in my
thoughts and prayers, as it is a team effort to get this stuff regulated.

Hi Gang:
Still progressing nicely. Taking a litle while to get tht Comadin
regulated,
but I understand that's the way it goes. Blood too thin, blood too thick.
Hopefully they get it right this time.
There's no swelling or pain. Been no pain from the outset, so I'm lucky
there. Some have really bad pain with the clot. The only thing that
bothers me is that I have to take the Comadin for 6 months. So be it!
During all this I plan to re-hab the muscles in my legs. Was working on
on that when Clot hit.
The orthopedic boot is 'out the window' Both my docs said that the
way I had it tightened was what caused the clot in the first place.
Told me in no uncertain terms was I to wear the boot until
the clot business is over and done with. Anyone want to buy a $1000
boot? :-P Yep, thats what they cost. Medicare paid for it,. whew!
Hopefully, come spring, I can wade again.
