I had surgery agian on the 28th of July had blood clots tubes to replace were all removed except fot one i have had few years well it got infected so thats why the surgery. I got up sat. morning my right forearm was just the worst bruisng you have ever seen, I call a family member who is a home health nurse nad she advised me to go to ER I did I take coumadin blood thinner if any knows much about it, been taking 5 mg for several years my pro time at hospital it was 20! The norm for me is 1.5 - 2.0 wanted to admit but i declined as I am going to my specialist today at 2:00i stopped taking coumadin went had it checked sterday. monday, and it was 8.2 so its coming down thankfully but i am so afraid my doctor will hospitalize me again i just got out aug 1 I have a 16 year old son who needs me and i would like to request a prayer that this medicine being to high is something i can treat at home and no clots have formed today is the best i felt since surgery, but I have been doing a lot praying just want the lord there with me hold my hand and get me through this..Thank you Laura Foxworth
