We both slept well, waking at 7:10 a.m. Jim had a small BM this morning and said more is coming. He takes a stool softener for this - has been taking it since his first stay in the hospital. He also takes Milk of Magnesia and started taking Senna last night. At nearly 9 we went to MedLabs, where Jim had blood drawn, then came home. I will soon start Gazette work for the day.
It was a hectic day for me, with work and all sorts of phone calls - most work-related, but also medical re: Jim's appointments or bills billed to the wrong place, and then one that was spam.
Dr. Butler's office called with INR readings. It is now 3.0, so he's to take more Coumadin tonight, less tomorrow night and then he visits the lab on Friday morning. He is glad he doesn't have to go anywhere tomorrow morning.
Dr. Li's (cardiology) office called too and said his thyroid level was up a bit. Thyroid problems are one of the side effects of taking Amiodarone, so for the next 2 months, he'll be taking one-half tab of it and then have it rechecked.
