IT"S FINALLY HERE!!! After six months of taking rat poison, I will take my last dose of Coumadin tonight. Tomorrow is a new chapter to find yet another new normal, and the bracelet will stay off. Even though this may seem like a small thing, it is actually huge. I am down to only one medication taken daily. Plus, I can finally eat all the salads I want without having to worry about my INR numbers. No more monthly visits to the amazing Coumadin clinic, and see people looking at me with their jaws hanging open thinking I am way to young to be in that office. It's a good day.
On another note, October has me getting an echo done and some special lab work to make sure my body has recovered from the circus it has been through. Then in November, I was accepted to be part of the Tactics Survivorship clinic to address my increased risk factors and how to proceed for follow-up from here on out.
God is still so good, and I pray my story will change the world even if it is for just one person. Thanks again to all my prayer warriors. I am blessed by all of you.
