Happy that my trip is still on, but bummed that it was shortened by a day. The assistant manager is leaving before then and I'll have to work the extra day I wanted off.

Like I got a lot accomplished so far on my day off.

Broken

I feel like deleting this stupid app.

Alone.

Can't wake up... I didn't do my affirmation before sleep. I guess this shows it does work for sure. Now... coffee!!

I seem to be attracting better matching men of late! That's a good sign :) Right now talking to one that I'd actually would want to have a coffee with. Unfortunately we're in lockdown still.
I'm getting in the mood to date and attracting men that have promise as a match is very inspiring.

Feeling erm... good! And going to bed with a big smile on my face

Wonderful to hear.

Empty , distressed

(((hugs)))

Nice photo Crystal!

Groovy

getting really concerned about my mother. She has bloodthinners but they can't ever get her stabile. At the moment the thickness is peaking like a effing idiot from way too thick to way too thin in a very short time.
The schedule and nr of pills they make for her has to be adapted at the mo almost daily. And then it still goes out of whack. She immediately feels it as then her heart does crazy things, she feel unwell etc etc.
Right now it's 4,5 and the top limit is 3. A few days ago it was 1, bottom limit is 2. So it's all over the place in the space of a few days time, no idea why.

So I'm worried.

Hi crystal .. is she taking warfarin ??? A change in INR usually reflects something that happened a few days prior to the change .. for example it takes on average 2 to 5 days for a missed dose to affect INR levels and up to five days to affect the antithrombotic effect .
If her iNR was low then they would seek to increase it to therapeutic levels but because of how it is absorbed and takes affect , it is a bit of a balancing act . I would be more concerned about what caused the drop . Was it picked up on routine screening or did she present feeling unwell .

My concern with a sub therapeutic INR would be the risk of a blood clot (Deep vein thrombosis , pulmonary embolism , cerebrovascular accident )

There are some simple reasons that can cause a drop in. iNR and prothrombin time but also some sinister reasons . It is important to determine what produced the change . Have they taken other blood tests to check her liver , renal and cardiac enzymes .
If they suspect a clot a Ddimer blood test and CTPA scan would help diagnostically .

If she lives alone .. Keep a close eye on her if you can and look after yourself . . Sounds very stressful .
