Got my test results yesterday. All good news.
« on: September 09, 2008, 07:24:05 AM »
I wore a Halter-Monitor for 24 hours (no shower) got the results yesterday.  He said "perfect!!   NO MORE Coumidin!  It is a blood thinner and I bruise if you look at me funny,  I look forward to the splotches on my arms going away.  I took to wearing long sleeve tees.
I had a list of questions all prepared.  Dr Burnam wrote answers next to my Qs
Typical:   What happens if I miss a pill? Ans. BAD
             What happens if I miss 2 pills? ans.  very BAD
What happens If I am marooned on  desert Island?  very, very BAD.
What happens if I am marooned on a desert island with Salma Hyak?  he didn't answer. I think he was thinking I'd die happy! @O@ o(:-) :hug:

Seriously, he was pleased that I bike 15 miles each morning  4 to 5 days a week O0

Glad they are taking you off the rat poison. But why did they have you on it to begin with?
If you are subject to DVT (blood clots) - be VERY careful... they tend to re-occur.

4 years ago I got an infection (Johns had the same thing) Had to do a Peracardial Effusion. This is removing the fluid in the peracardia.  The fluid could damage the heart or even stop it!
I was left unscathed, or so they thought.  Six months ago i got an irregular heart beat. It is not life threatening, but scary as hell.  The aforementioned surgery (draining) left scaring, thus the irregular beat.  To determine the reason took very extensive tests.
What to do?  Take a pill everyday. It is called "Rhythmol."  I have taken it for 6 months.
I will have to take it forever.  The Coumidin was a precautionary measure.
I got off easy! O0

Oh yeah, the pill has 2 nasty side effects.  1. makes me irresistible to women. o(:-)
                                                          2. I have cornered the market on prune juice >:(-

Ah, Jerry, you don't need a pill to make you irresistible to women.   o(:-)

Seriously, I'm glad you don't have to take the Coumidin any more.   O0  That's good news.

Me too, bye bye Coumidin.  I have 3 month supply coming too.
Thanks for the kind words.  Joyce and I were in touch. We both had big Dr days at the same time.

I barked my shins 2 days ago and bled like it was a big injury.  That's what coumidin does.
Normal viscosity amd bleeding stops quickly.
Thanks again for the kind words. :hug:
