Day 26
Ah yes, a good nights sleep. The RN came by and drew my blood and the outcome....no change on 15mg Coumadin and double Lovenox injections. In their infinite wisdom they have upped the Coumadin to 20mg/day. I am getting a little frustrated in the lack of doctor communication at this time. If they change my antibiotic now my clot time will probably go sky high. I see the surgeons NP in 2 days. They continue to hold me off PT until the blood viscosity is in the normal range. I wonder if the Coumadin clinic and the surgeon's office even communicate. I was going to wait to contact the MD office since I am going in in 2 days but the RN said she was going to call me but it I think people should follow through with what they say and my fiancée was encouraging me to find out what the plan is
It has been a good day overall. I was playing around while reclined and a little too much hip action in dancing. I was being careful but a couple directions did not feel warm and fuzzy.
Took a pain pill as a precautionary measure from my earlier experience.
