January repeat

Hi all,  We went to see my hubby's GP today.  Boy did we have some questions for him.  The first one was for a referral to a blood specialist (I had sussed it out prior to our GP appointment as I have been treated by this fellow before)  Surprisingly the GP was very good today and LISTENED.  He also said that this "clot" looks like an old one (maybe the sonographer didn't pick it up a couple of months ago!!!!!)  Anyway it is there so in hindsight my husband should have stayed on blood thinners (he hates the effects so was glad to be off them).  Chris, yes I am giving him two needles of Clexane each night as well as him taking the Warfarin. (I pretend that I am confident with the needles - I hate giving them)  His blood reading today was 1 and it needs to be 2-3.  We will continue with the Clexane and 7mg of Warfarin daily, have blood tests every 3 days and see if the reading comes up.  Also we are watching his diet really closely - and of course no alcohol.  We are scheduled to fly out from here on 12th Feb then out to Thailand on 14th Feb so hopefully things will settle down in order for that to happen.  I had written off the trip but the GP says it should all be fine to travel - just for my hubby to keep moving on the flight.  It is now a wait and see game.  At least we don't feel so uptight about it all tonight.  Will keep you posted.  I will now have to "get cracking" with getting my mind around overseas travelling again.  Thanks again ladies for your support.
