Off Lovenox!

So, at the end of my visit with Dr. R, a bit more good news: my INR came back 2.3. Because I've now had two consecutive INR results between 2 and 3, she says I'm officially "therapeutic" on warfarin, and can stop the shots of Lovenox (the low molecular weight heparin, generic name enoxaparin).

I'm to hold onto the last few syringes I still have, though -- just in case my INR drops for some reason over the next few days, which isn't that uncommon among people just reaching therapeutic status.

I'm looking forward to stopping the shots. I've got a lot of bruising from doing injections 2x per day for 9.5 days.It's Friday, so I'll be taking 7.5mg, 7.5mg and 5mg of warfarin, then having another blood test on Monday to confirm the INR is still between 2 and 3.
