Still Feeling as Rough as a Rough Thing…

August 15, 2014

I still haven’t been feeling back on track again so I asked for another blood test to check my INR. I had it taken a couple of days ago and I have just phoned in to get the result. 1.8 So it’s only moved 0.2 but Doc still wants me to stay on 12 and 13mg. I know...

Rougher Still…

August 8, 2014

Just couldn’t stand the pain any longer today, so phoned the doctor. He has agreed to up my Warfarin dose to 13mg every second day so I am now on 12/13 alternate days. Hopefully that will start to bring my INR up again....

Feeling as Rough as a Rough Thing…

August 6, 2014

Not sure what’s going on but I have been feeling so rough. I haven’t been away travelling for a few weeks so it can’t be down to that.  I have been careful with what I am eating and measuring my greens to be sure I am having a consistent amount so I don’t think it...

The Big Smoke…

July 4, 2014

No I haven’t started smoking again, I’ve been in London. Actually, before I tell you about London, I will tell you about my smoking and my attempts to stop. I smoked for about 15 years.  I think I must have tried everything to stop.  Laser therapy - worked for about 3...

INR, vitamin K, weight, diet, aaaghh!

June 13, 2014

I had my bloods taken a couple of days ago for my regular INR check. Now that I am within my therapeutic range, and the doctors are happy with everything, I normally only get my bloods checked about once every 6 weeks.  I can remember last year having to get them done...

Stroke Rehab Review

June 11, 2014

I was back today to see the lovely stroke nurses and physio’s at Stroke Rehab for a review of how I am doing. Nowadays I feel like a bit of a fraud walking into the cardiac rehab unit.  I have no problems with walking or conversations now.  My sense of humour is...

Gotta lose this weight

June 4, 2014

Right I have decided enough is enough. Time to get some weight off.       The photo of shame!           There has to be a way to get the weight off.   It’s not as easy though being on Warfarin. Normally I would have fresh salads in summer time but currently I’m...

Its official, I am going to set up a business around Warfarin and my journey. Not sure how it’s all going to look yet but I am setting my sights high.  So I have just bought the domain name, eatonwarfarin.com Oh heck, how am I going to get the energy to do anything?...

Nothing like a Nice Massage to Chill Me Out

May 26, 2014

Well that’s what I thought. I decided it might help me to relax if I went and got a nice massage.  My favourite is hot stone therapy but I thought I would just go for a basic massage this time. Wow, well that won’t be happening anytime soon. It seems Warfarin and...

The Art of Napping

May 18, 2014

That’s it. I have decided that rather than just do research on Warfarin and write notes on bits of paper (that I am only going to lose then get frustrated because I can’t find them) I’m going to compile them into a book.  Other people must be in the same boat as me. ...
