Hi Harriet,
Glad you saw those two docs and that they are keeping an eye on you. And glad you are stable for the moment
If your current stability is due to you being on heparin as opposed to warfarin why can't you stay on the heparin ? (I'm the sort of person that wants to know why as why often holds the clue as to treatment - but then I'm not you). What about other anti-coagulants ? Are they going to refer you to an anti-coagulant specialist if you start to bleed once back on warfarin ?
Perhaps some of your sadness and loneliness now is due to the fact that so much has been going on since you had surgery and so much time in hospital that you've, in a sense, been very distracted. Most people get a 'downer' after heart surgery and with what you've been through it's hardly surprising if you felt down now, even suffering from an element of PTSD which isn't uncommon after heart surgery either.
Anyway, fingers crossed that things are settled and stay settled when you go back on the warfarin Harriet ! Do keep us posted - we're all here to support you !

Anne thank you ! when they agreed to leave me for a couple more weeks l didn't ask to many more questions. I am sure if need be they will refer me to a anti coagulation expert. I don't know about you but where l'm from heparin is crazy expensive upwards of $900 ish a month. That's a lot more than the price of warfrin. What else is there besides a couple of generic brand names either way.
I am just ok to be left alone right now .. l think l've come to terms with the situation well atleast for now that's easy enough to say as long as l am stable and at home. I just have to take it one day at a time the same way l live my life. I did ask why they can't leave me on innoheprin but cost is a no Brainer. I left it at that for now at least.
Yes l will keep you posted and thank you for caring Xx Paliogirl

I agree with what Anne said about the loneliness. I have felt the same way lately. But we are strong and will get through this. Hugs to you!
