Hi Subs :)

 

Great to have an update and good to read how well Mrs Subs is doing :)

Bet Mrs Subs feels really good fitting back into her clothes pre her illness April 2011. All these things help with recovery, like coming off the steroids, time, relaxation, getting back to work and of course her wonderful caring loving hubby always there for her. 

 

Your posts do and will help many others here, so thank YOU Subs :)

Wishing you both well and all the best with Mrs Subs on going recovery.  

 

Take care

I just thought I would make a comment on Mrs Subs recent illness so that anyone else who may also be on warfarin can see how things can change so quickly

 

For anyone who may not have read about her health issues- four years ago she suffered from a DVT, Wegeners diagnosis and SAH while in hospital for tests April 2011.

 

Two weeks ago she had a regular INR warfarin check and because her results were very steady ( 2.5   Her norm should be 2 with a leeway to 2,5)-she was asked to make her next check-up on 9th Oct.

 

Because of her nausea in in the past 10 days her GP asked her to do a recheck on her INR. This morning her result was 5.5 ! Hence part of the reason she is still very weak- so- no more warfarin until Sunday and a recheck on Monday morning-

 

Her thin blood is currently a danger levels but should normalise by the weekend- so important that she did not just wait for her October check !

 

The warfarin medication has nothing to do with her SAH

Mrs Subs is recovering from her recent health `blip` . However when we checked her monthly bloods on Tuesday morning we discovered that her liver tests had spiked. Normal is up to 50, but with her immunosuppressants-her `normal`  for the past three years has been around 140. The test result was 570 so we immediately called her GP who after checking with her consultant, booked her in for more blood tests and she also had an Ultra Sound Scan this afternoon. She is also to have a CT scan soon.

 

So while she is recovering- they want to find the cause of this sudden rise  in her results. Always pleased that her medics give her immediate attention. Her NHS experience in the past four years has been first class.

Hi Subs,

 

So sorry to hear Mrs Subs liver tests have spiked. Hope this wont hinder her recovery from her recent health blip.

Its good to read that the medics are giving her immediate attention.

I hope the tests find the cause and Mrs Subs will be back on track with her recovery.

 

Good luck with her CT scan, hope all is positive.

Wishing you both well.

Take care,

Tina xx

Thank you `guys` for your kind words of support.

 

Much valued and appreciated.

 

I sympathise so much with the members of BTG who strive so hard to achieve progress with their health- and when these `body blows` come they can hit everyone involved so much - and yet they still want to help others too-

 

Amazing attitude- don`t ever change !

Hi everyone

 

Mrs Subs has recovered well - the medics are still trying to establish the cause-Ultrasound revealed nothing and CT Scan asap.

 

Interesting- she dressed for church this morning and looked stunning !  I said- when did you get that lovely outfit dear ? She replied- `You bought it for me twelve years ago !`  :shock:  :shock:

 

Anyway- we bumped into her head Consultant on Saturday when we were visiting my mother in hospital- she seemed quite positive that the problem was not something `serious`  -wow- hearing this was such a relief-even though they are still trying to establish the cause-

 

Up early tomorrow for another INR check-

Mrs Subs had her CT Scan last Thursday and her consultant called today- He says that it looks as if she has a stone in her pancreas and he has instructed a specialist in the pancreas to meet up with her-

 

Her liver blood results are all improving and her next blood test is in two weeks-  the waiting game-

 

Certainly she is looking well- eating well- and still working her two days per week-

 

Hopefully the pressures of my mother`s passing on 30th Sep are in the past-

 

Take care everyone-

 

Subs-

 

Trying hard to cath up on the many posts `ve missed out on- I will get there ! ;)
