Warfarin Update
Nothing much is happening at the moment, I am going to the BRI every 2-3 days to have my blood checked. They haven't managed to establish a stable position yet, the aim is to maintain it (INR count) between 2 and 3 but I have had readings of 3.5 and 4.4 recently! This means I have to be careful not to cut myself as it might take a bit to stop the bleeding as my blood is thin. My last reading was 2.4 on Monday which is great, but will it stay level? Normally the nurses work to a defined protocol of blood count vs dosage but not everyone's the same so occasionally they have to make educated guesses to establish a stable count. We will see what happens with my count on Wednesday, I've given up trying to guess what it will be.
Frank and I have decided to move house, we are staying in Portishead but moving to the other side of the marina. Now we are both at home together, we need a bigger place again! The house won't be ready until late Spring, so we don't need to panic at the moment. We can use the time to have a clear out at this end. So it's quite exiting and something to look forward to.
Speak soon
