Re: [VFB] Jimmy D update
Thanks Chuck. I'll be holding in there! Will keep all posted. JIM Chuck Alexander wrote: 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. Chuck -Original Message- From: Jimmy D.
