I had a bump after my surgery at the very top of chest closure. It hurt then when I turned my head left or right or when I touched it. Surgeon said it was the wires. He offered to remove them which required one night stay at the hospital. I didn’t Now, I don’t feel it unless I press on it...

I voted once a week, but sometimes I need to test more than once depending if I had to adjust my dose or I am on any medication that interacts with warfarin.

Congratulations. Wishing you many happy and healthy returns.

It’s just some anxiety, I think, which I should overcome as I trust him and he’s great! I agree and I always advocate not to waste energy unnecessarily, but I could not apply it on myself yesterday! I’m better today hoping all will go well tomorrow 🙏 Thank you, 3mm. Stay safe and well 🙏

Than you, Chuck. I didn’t realize that though my INR is low, I’m still protected by lovenox! INR is still 1.5 today, hoping I’ll remain protected until after tomorrow when I’ll resume the lovenox! May you stay well and healthy. 🙏

Thank you, Tom. I trust my cardio…he’s caring and a top notch, but never dealt with him before regarding such matter. “Que sera sera”, hoping I’ll’ stay around and inform you all how tomorrow will go!🙏 Hope you stay and remain well.

Feeling a bit scared. Following my cardiologist’s instructions: I didn’t take my warfarin yesterday. I injected myself with Lovenox this morning. I took my second injection now. I just tested my INR, and it’s 1.5. I’ll test again tomorrow. However, I’m worried because I shouldn’t take...

This is what I’ll die, if needed! Thank you for your response. Hope you’re doing well and wish you stay well.

Thank you, Pellicle. I hope so too!

Thank you All for your responses. My cardiologist agrees not to stop for 7 days. I’ll contact the biopsy physician to discuss below with him and I hope I don’t neeed to stop it not get the shots. Here’s my cardiologist’s message and instructions: “…. in terms of medical advice, yes, you’re...

Sorry to hear all the above. Sending you my good wishes.

My surgeon, after my surgery, told me that he removed my left appendage for the same reason. My surgery was in 2008 and I had two valves replaced. Good luck. Since you’re interviewing another surgeon (which is great idea), ask him. Good luck.

Thank you, Zoltania. Yes, this is very disturbing especially that I’m the sole caregiver to my beautiful lovely 93-years old sister. Thank you for your good wishes.

Thank you, Tom. My INR would drop to 1 in 3 or 4 days with my sensitivity to medicine! My cardio has not returned my call nor responded to my message!!! But I’ll call again.

Thank you, perrybucsdad. I lowered my INR before tooth extraction to 2 and all went well and I’m still around. I’ll also suggest that he talks to the radiologist doing the biopsy. Good point. thanks.

Thank you, Chuck C. I sent a message and a telephone call to his office, but no response yet! I’ll call again today if I don’t hear from him. Before tooth extraction, my surgeon was happy with lowering my INR to 2 and I did I it and all went well. I definitely cannot stop warfarin for 7 days!

Thank you, dick236. Absolutely! With my heart’s condition and my sensitivity to medicine, those 7 days might become my last 7 days 😀😔! have not heard from my cardio yet!😕

Thank you, Pellicle. I’ll read your blog.

I am scheduled for an IR US Breast Biopsy on August 6. While I was scheduling the appointment, the lady asked me to stop taking Advil. I mentioned I take Warfarin, she responded that I take my regular medicines as usual. The written Instructions I just received state: “Please stop taking...

Protime, I am not sure if Woodland Hills is close to where you like. If it is, I highly recommend our ex-dentist, Dr. Toutounjian. He is honest, compassionate and a trustworthy dentist who prioritizes patient’s well-being over profit, never ever would recommend unnecessary procedures!. He also...
