when I left the hospital after surgery I was given a card that outlined dental procedures requiring antibiotics and dosage, the first dentist appointment I mentioned antibiotics and the front desk person figured it was just a cleaning and not required. B S, l had my family doc write a script for...

I would increase to 6mg, my dose had to be increased several times after release from hospital. In my opinion higher is more desirable than lower out of range.

My shoulder has been bothering me and frozen shoulder exercises didn’t seem to help much. Last week I was invited to golf with the guys I wasn’t going to go because of my shoulder, my wife insisted I go so the first few baby swings were painful but by the end of the round the swing were almost...

Today was the handoff from the INR clinic to my family doctor, it went exceptionally well both my Doctor and I agreed that a range of 1.5 to 2 is too low, she wants me to be 2.5 - 3.5 range. She was happy to see that I have a coagucheck meter and also was impressed with the spread sheet that...

My experience with cattle feed is if clover/sweet clover gets put up not dry enough it will mold and create Coumadin. The only way to feed it safely is to feed good non clover hay or silage for 2days and then 1 day of the high coumadin hay/silage. Otherwise cattle will bleed excessively during...

This my new ride!

Yes, I got light headed for a while and during the afternoons was very tired and lazy. My blood pressure was on the low side, I am on two different blood press meds and was taking both in the AM, they told me to take one in the AM and the other in PM it seemed to help a lot.
