So, last week, my INR was 1.4 - that's quite low since it's supposed to be 2.5 in a perfect world. It wasn't surprising though because it's been low almost every week. This week though, my body decided to mix things up...
I received a panicked call from Kristy (pulmonologist) during dismissal today. Get this....my INR has spiked to 7.1. Unreal ~ I know! She was so scared for me because I was only at 2.1 when I had serious bloodloss with the nosebleed. She was begging me to be careful and explaining how important it would be to get to the hospital if anything happens. I was listening to her and truly understanding how serious it all was, but at the same time, I couldn't help but laugh inside. Seriously....from 1.4 to 7.1. I mean it seems like my INR level is trying to beat my hemoglobin level! Geez! If anything my body is interesting. :) Sometimes all ya can do is laugh... (and be really careful like the dr said :) )
(I do promise not to use any knives or scissors tonight! haha)
