If this is a little late today it's because I had a virtual book to read on the topic of warfarin. If they had a book like that for every medication prescribed there wouldn't be a tree left in the forest.. but this book on warfarin was really very specific I must not eat it any great quantity of broccoli or Brussels sprouts that's not hard to do ---can't stand either one.. but I must also appoint someone to make sure I take the medication on schedule---- that gets a little more difficult... Because it clearly says I should take the medication at the same time every day at the point someone to make sure I have done that.. well that would be at about 7:00 at night when I take all my other bedtime pills And I suppose the easiest way to do that is for me swallow and then to send an e-mail “DONE”. to someone whose schedule is very reliable which would be my oldest daughter Gwen .
This introductory warfarin booklet is very specific if you missed two appointments at having your blood tested they might drop you from the program and you may not be reinstated.. And at the start your blood should be tested about 3 * a week and their facility.. but there is an at home testing device which you can probably get through Medicare after about three months . ..—and my current pill must be GREEN .regardless of it’s shape.....
The organization was impressive..
.i am to take a shot Monday morning at 7 and have my blood drawn 4 hours later... pretty exactly 4 hours... so with cars, dogs, traffic and drivers, I better plan on ½ hour early. Because i don’t want to screw up this program..... and between shot and blood draw we had planned a visit to a day center.. not sure I can risk that.
On that topic... we had another diabetic identification by larkey--- at trask center.. he was wandering the crowd--- and he stopped to go over one guy more specifically with his nose--- so I asked the staff if that guy was diabetic—and they said yes....AND<<<<. newly confirmed. Again !!! that is 4 ID’s....
Then he came home and went over one specific fluffy blankey with the same intensity.... which has been on their bed all week.... go figure ! I am trrying to....
Pellet stove rep --- it has been chilly—and I went thru more than a bag a day—luckily nick and eliz went and got me 8 bqags -- that kind of tins worries me...generic firewood is – around here always available—but pellets????
Rotary visiter yesterday was a young gal—trying to start her own business—so we had a lot of laughs on that one.... but she had a person who could not bend their legs to get in a bed – when she spotted our ropes to steady someone coming down the ladder--- she thought maybe---- so I gave her and old puppy chewed one to try..... they do work....in bathtubs, bed, kitchens,, etc,,,
My challenge of the weekend ( an indoor one because I don’t like the way those flags are flying-----) is to design a piece of rope for “someone” to be able to shut the door behind them whiled riding thru on a wheelchair...
Wellll my first challenge of the day is to do nothing at all .(. except maybe eat and sleep... ) I had a wide awake night....
