No reprieve from the Lovenox injections this week. My blood test yesterday -- in keeping with my body’s apparent propensity to do weird things with respect to clotting -- registered virtually no effect from the Coumadin I took over the previous five days. So we are trying again, doubling the Coumadin dose … and, of course, continuing the Lovenox until we get a blood result indicating the Coumadin has reached therapeutic levels. Stay tuned for next week's results.
In happier news, the latest heat wave has broken and temperatures in the low 80’s are forecast for the foreseeable future. It’s nice to once again sit out on the back porch, with a gentle breeze and the prospect of a comfortable day ahead. And you know how I’m going to spend it, right? Yup, a nice walk by the lake. One of these days, if I can solve the waterproofing problem adequately, I might even go for a swim.
And in other happy news, last night I had my first evening out since the surgery! David, Emily, friend Katie and I traveled up to Evanston to see a tribute to Broadway musicals staged by the very talented students at Northwestern University. (We are forever grateful to my nephew Gaby for matriculating there and introducing us to this gem of a resource.) It was, no more and no less, a goody bag of songs from (mostly) Tony-award-winning musicals from Cabaret and later, presented with introductory bridges and modest staging and costuming. Just the right thing.
