Coumadin – day 5

Today is the day (day 5) where it’s supposed to be finally at the full level so we’ll see how it goes. Nothing noticeable so far in terms of bruising, and he’s already had the opportunities.

What they said they would do if he had to have a surgery or dental work, etc. is they have shots of it that last 12 hours so he would have to wean off of the pill a few days prior and then have shots of it every 12 hours along with daily blood draws to maintain until the day of surgery, then for a few days after until the pill builds up in his system again. They said it’s kind of an ordeal. They don’t even want him to be off of it for a few days.

I don’t know what he’s supposed to do when he gets a headache now though, because he can’t take Tylenol, Ibuprofen (Advil), Naproxen (Aleve) aspirin.
