Jim had blood drawn again this morning. He is getting very tired of this. It is nearly 3 p.m. now and we have not heard back from the doctor's office on what his INR readings are. His doctor did say he could resume taking generic Allegro for his allergies.
The project Jim and Craig worked on yesterday with the kitchen light switches was continued this morning, and later after Jim and I left to go to my eye appointment, Craig got it working. It certainly was not an easy fix.
We visited Miss Anna, who was very glad to see Jim, but we didn't stay long. He was really tired and his incisions were hurting big time. Now that he is home and in more comfortable clothes, he's going to take a pain pill and rest.
Dr. Butler's office called around 5 p.m. Jim's INR readings today are at 3.3 - they're going up, instead of down, yet doc wants him to continue with one 3 mg. tab of Coumadin and you know, do the blood draw thing again tomorrow. It's getting old for both of us.
Jim has reduced how much and how often he takes pain pills. He still has issues with bowel movement.
We have two prayer concerns at this point:
1) the INR readings level off and Jim doesn't have to visit MedLabs so often
2) become regular with BM
We may have to call UIHC again because of problems with the latter... however, he does have gas. Funny, how that can be a good thing.
