I'm back and It all went like clockwork :)

Hi all, I'm back and about to hang the do not disturb sign on the door Ha Ha

1 The INR warfarin blood test could have gone better, in 1 week and because of being put on a higher steroid dose and AB's my INR has risen from a perfect 2.5 to 3.8 which is no surprise as this normally happens to me so I had better not cut myself or I wont stop bleeding easily and anyway it could hurt as well .

2 Fit to breath went very well, even the dreaded sit to stands didn't hurt quite as much as usual and I left feeling pretty good.

3 Drive10 miles to Worcester Hospital where I was lucky enough to find a parking space fairly close to the door and headed off to clinical investigations for my bone scan. After a 20 minute wait I had a lie down for 10 minutes while the scanner did its thing which I found quite comfortable, I wished it could have lasted a little longer.

4 From the bone scanner it was a short walk to x-ray where I waited about another 20 mins before they called a group of 4 through. I was the lucky one and was taken through for my chest x-ray first which only took 5 mins and I was on my way back to the car.

5 It had been 1 hour and 15 mins in all and the car parking charges go from £2.00 for an hour to £3.70 after that so that extra 15 mins cost me £3.70 oucha!!!. It used to be free for us Blue Badgers but not any more, if your lucky the BB will get you a place nearer the door which is something I suppose.

6 Back home sooner than expected but very very ready for that rest.

What a busy day for you Tony but all seems to have gone pretty smoothly. Hope you are enjoying a much needed rest and take good care of yourself. Those parking charges are a real bummer but not much we can do about them.

Wishing you well. xxxx

Hi,

You must be completely exhausted after all that, I am was also on Warfarin and keep going for the INR blood test was a bit of a pain, but no more I have been put on Rivaroxaban also named Xarelto it does the same job as warfarin but you dont need blood tests and take just one pill a day, its one appointment less and less hassle ,worth asking for.

all the best
