- How is it already May 18th?! What the F. This year is flying by, faster than any other I can recall.
- I’m in the office today because a client will maybe meet with me and I came to the sad realization last night that that probably meant I should wear pants instead of jeans. Womp womp. Luckily I had a pair that fit! And a coworker I never get to see will be in today and we might get “coffee” (a chai for me), yay!
I had to get up at 3:40 to catch a train that would get me to the office in time for my 7:30 call. zzzzzzzzzzzz
- My INR was the highest it’s ever been this Monday – 4.4. Um, it’s supposed to be between 2.5-3.0. I knew I was eating too much junk and fewer greens but that is just NUTS that it went so out of range. I’ve focused on eating my normal diet this week, and they had me skip a day of Warfarin. I go back in on the 25th and hope I am in range (or closer!).
I need to eat greens every day! They have Vitamin K that helps my blood clot. Seems counterintuitive but my dosage was dependent on how many greens I was having before so when I ate less I clotted even slower.
- Jury Duty was such a delight. I was laughing or smiling for so much of it. Has anyone else watched it? The premise is that it’s a documentary of a trial but everyone is an actor except one guy – and he doesn’t know it’s all fake. It sounds horrible and mean but it’s just incredibly endearing, sweet, and funny.
- Fast X comes out tomorrow! We need to get tickets! It looks horrible, but we have to see it in the theater. Ha.
Fast 10 has way better critic scores so far than 9 (59% compared to 58%) = Academy Award worthy!
Oh sheet! Well now I kind of want to see it tonight! LOL
Everyone is talking about how much they love Jury Duty! I really should invest in some time to watch it.
The premise sounds so dumb but watching it made me feel really good, and I laughed a lot!
I do not know how it’s already the middle of May. No.
Insane, just insane.
OMG KIM. I just watched Jury Duty this week! I need to text you all my thoughts. IT WAS SO GOOD. Ronald is a treasure.
How did your INR get so high?? Is it solely due to what you were eating, or do your meds need to be adjusted? That’s crazy that a few days of eating junk could cause it to get so high. 🙁
OMG yes text me!!! Steven wants to watch it so I started it up again Friday and it’s even better the second time! LOL!
That is what I am wondering about my INR too! Is it because of the junk food or eating more in general and was it from a few days or over a couple of weeks? It’s so touchy!!!!!!! They will adjust the meds down as need be, thankfully, but I wish I was more consistent so I didn’t have to go in every two weeks (or less) again.
INR is seriously one of the most annoying metrics to keep in range. Greens, yes, absolutely, but for goodness sakes, they have to figure something out so that a few off days aren’t going to send you into this kind of spike. 😛 Or, maybe just come up with a broccoli-filled donut? 😉
(I am kind of fascinated with All The Broccoli… is it one of the only green veggies you like? Is it the best one for you and keeping your INR in range?)
