Rant about Hubby
I have to get this off my chest or I might go insane.
I am worried about hubby, I think he might be going insane. I got up this morning for a cuppa with a sore throat and hubby was at the sink but ...
Hubby and I had a discussion about his going off the Xaralto (probably wrong spelling). He was on Warfarin for a blood clot in his leg for years but blood tests up to every fortnight were getting him down especially when the local Dr here stopped bulk billing and he had to pay $73 just to hear blood test results. He got put on the Xaralto with less blood tests but its expensive and we aren't on a pension.
Hubby said the clot was from an injury years ago when we were digging a gum tree stump out and he got dehydrated and levered the digging bar against his leg, compressing the vein. Not long after that his leg swelled up and it was diagnosed as a blood clot. In years its never completely gone down and hubby thinks its just scar tissue inside and will never completely go no matter how many pills he takes. He is of the opinion that he is just a revenue income for Drs and pharmacies and he is sick of it and went off the pills a little at a time for weeks. His leg has not swelled any bigger and there isn't any pain. He goes on long walks with no ill effects.
Latest odd for a man thing is he takes over my kitchen of a day time and bakes Anzac biscuits for us and the neighbours. They are lovely biscuits but I am packing the weight on eating them! I don't think he is eating them, he snacks on lettuce leaves.
