That's great, Patty!

I posted this in the accountability thread, where I will delete it, so will include it here:

This past weekend, my Rog noticed a big bruise on my side. I didn't have any pain from it and didn't even know it was there until he pointed it out. I think it came about when I pushed through our wooden gate and it hung up on the swollen concrete. Anyway, it was a sure sign my coumadin levels might be too high, even though they were fine last week.

I called the clinic and had my blood tested, yesterday. Sure enough it was at 3.8 when it should be under 3.0, so it was a bit alarming. Conventional wisdom says the more you exercise, the more coumadin you have to take. well, I am just the opposite. We've had this happen once before. I exercise on a regular basis, the coumadin has to be reduced or I could wind up bleeding out in certain situations.

SO, thanks to your encouragement, etc. my semi-regular treadmill walks, etc. have resulted in my having to take less of the rat poison and I am delighted!

Thanks!
