Mission Accomplished!

Woo-hoo! We did it! My INR today was 2.6. For those of you just joining in, this means 1) my blood takes 2.6 times as long to clot as yours does (not that it's a competition or anything ... just sayin'), and 2) that we have finally found the right dose of oral Coumadin to protect me from forming potentially fatal blood clots. We'll test the clotting time again on Friday, and if it stays in the therapeutic range, I can stop the Lovenox injections. I say again: Woo-hoo!
