I was in for a quick blood test today to check my blood clotting INR. I have been taking Coumadin since last Tuesday and my INR was up to 2.6. This was enough for me to stop taking the Lovenox injections. It is great to over with that after 9 months of sticking myself in the abdomen each day. Since my target INR is between 1.5 and 2.0, I will reduce the amount of Coumadin that I take. I will alternate between 5 mg and 2.5 mg each day and get my INR checked again next Monday.
The cough is still persisting, though primarily in the morning or after being out in the cold. It will be great when the weather warms up some. It was in the 30s for a few days and now back down to zero and headed lower.
