General Chat

So glad Philip is home now Caz - hope he feels lots better and is pleased with the way you coped on your own (with a little help from your sister etc)

When my cousin was put on warfarin she had to go every day, twice a day, to have her blood checked so they could be sure the dosage was right and doing it's job.

If you are worried about things that react with warfarin, google that phrase and have a read altho the doctor or nurse should be able to advise him anyway.

I didn't call on Sunday cos I didn't want to disturb you if you were resting or if Philip was just home, so will talk to you during the week sometime.
You were both in my thoughts tho

love and hugs

Well Caz that is good news, just read the thread after my hospital visit Jeff was sorry to hear about Philip so now he will be pleased to hear good news
chat later love Jean xxx

Oh Caz, I'm really pleased to hear that Phil is home, I know that you must be thrilled to bits.

Well done to you Caz for coping so well on your own, with the help of your sister.

I don't know anything about Warfarin, but I should imagine that they have to check his blood and dosage daily at first, until they are satisfied that all is going ok.

Sending you both lots of love and positive thoughts. Take care.


Love and best wishes. Sallie and Alun.xxx

aw it's lovely to have him back home, his two daughters have been up to see him and we had a nice chat. He has to be off work for four weeks at least, tomorrow he has to go to the warfarin clinic, in fact every day this week so we will have to see what that is about, might be to check his dosage and blood and things. He said thank you for all your kind messages while he has been in hospital, so glad to be home now though.

Love Caz xx

Pleased to see you have Phill home with you x

Caz. Glad to hear that Phil is home with you.
Now you BOTH need some TLC

Aaw I bet you are sooo pleased to see him. And he will be really proud of you that you coped on your own. Well done Caz and get well soon Philip.

Just had a call from Philip he is on his way home, sister gone to pick him up, should be home in ten minutes.

Caz

Oh he's here now.

Just back off holiday to see this Caz. Hope Philip will be home with you soon and will continue to improve with the Warfarin. And well done for managing to survive without him while he was in hospital. Not easy for you I know.

Hi Caz, sorry to hear about Philip, but hopefully he will be back home with you to-day.
You take care of yourself too.

Hello Caz....bet you're right chuffed Phill is due home today:o))

love jude xx

Hi Caz,

Keeping my fingers crossed that Phil will be well enough to come home today. As usualyou are both in my thoughts.

Speak to you later.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Caz I hope you are managing alright while Phill is in hospital. My Dad took warfrin for seven years to prevent more blood clots / further strokes. He had his blood tested regularly and the dose altered accordingly. He had to go to the hospital at first to get the blood test done (by finger prick) then more recently he got it done at home. He kept a record book which went to the hospital with him, or was updated at home later. I believe some foods/ drinks affect the warfrin, and Phill could be advised to avoid certain stuff. Another nurse told us it didn't matter so there is some confusion there!! But he will be kept under supervision by way of the blood tests. Don't worry it is rat poison but not enough to cause harm, thats why people on it are watched carefully xx

Thank you girls it's lovely to read all your messages, I don't feel so alone. I have had a few sleepless nights, wandering round drinking endless cups of tea, I am muddling through as best I can, my lovely sister did my shopping for me yesterday so I have plenty to eat. They are also going to pick Philip up when we hear he can come home, they told him it may be today now he has started his warfarin.
Liz it was Sheringham that my ancestor (my avatar) was sherriff of in 1428, at least I'm almost sure it was. I have my angel locket you all bought me and keep wearing it so I have my own guardian angel with that lovely verse on the back.
Joyce has just rung me and still coughing badly but not quite as bad.
I will go and make myself a cuppa, at least I can still do that.

Love Caz xx

Hi Caz,

Im glad to see that Phill is now diagnosed and on treatment.
He will be followed up closely now as the other Ladies have said.

Hope the weekend has not been too difficult for you and hopefully you will have some news tomorrow of Phill return home.

Hi Caz, I haven't spoken to you for ages as I'm not on here much ( working 24/7 since February ) I'm sorry to hear you and Phil are ill, I hope he came home and thing's are much better for you both soon

Take care

Hello Caz, Sorry Ive only just seen this as I haven't been on my PC much over the last couple of days.
I hope Phillip is making very good progress.
My mum in law had blood clots in her lungs and was put on warfarin but unfortunately she developed blood clots in her legs as well, she has always had very poor circulation and unable to walk more than a couple of steps in the last 18 months, warfarin soon sorted the clots, so good luck to you both, Phillip will be well again very soon.

Love and support dear Caz, and best wishes to Philip, hope things will turn around quickly.
