What is his surgery for? Is it urgent /life saving?I would think you can only decide on that basis plus taking the advice of the surgeons in charge of your husbands healthWhat are they saying?.

Thank you for replying. Yes he is having surgery to remove the bleed. They have stopped his warfarin to proceed with surgery. They will start warfarin post surgery. I was told that the risks of brain haemorrhage is high because of being on warfarin and his age 69. I s there anything he & I could do to at home to prevent or minimise further bleeds

Has anyone out there with similar problem
