Hi just thought I would let you know that I did attend A&E (if you remember i broke my foot at xmas and started with pains in my calf and then in the upper right side of my back) well I was admitted with a blood clot in my lung which was very near to my heart and after 9 days in hospital they have now got my bloods stable enough for me to come home. So this is a really big thankyou to all of you that said I should go straight to A&E because if I hadnt I wouldnt be sat here writing this my family would be planing my funeral. so once again a very big thankyou Julia xxxxxx

I guess its warfarin for you then, a small price to pay as it sorts out and stops anymore clotts. Just goes to show how brilliant this blog site can be!. We all like stories with a happy ending x

Yes high doses of warfarin but as you say its a small price to pay, you have your limits of what you can and cant do but thats better than a wooden box. This site and the people on it are surely brilliant because if it wasnt for this I wouldnt be here now.xxxxx

OMG - thats so frightening! So pleased to hear that are recovering! That as so lucky. Thank goodness you listened to the advise. Take good care. TAD xx

Thank god you went to A&E,what a scary experience! So glad you are better now,lets hope the rest of 2013,treats you kindly!!

Enjoy the soft drink now,ha ha!!

Love Wendells xxx

hi dawn, thankyou do you mind if I ask you a few things about warfarin, (so many people keep telling me different things when they have never been on it) do I just carry on as before I started taking it? I have stopped drinking altogether with great difficultly lol is is right to do so? can the blood clots return while I am taking warfarin this is the thing that is worrying me the most. thankyou for your help take care Julia xxxxx
