You know, it occurs to me that the reason you've been having trouble getting anticoagulated might be that you're a vegetarian. Green, leafy vegetables contain lots of Vitamin K, which opposes the action of warfarin. I'm sure they already reviewed all of this with you, however...
Yes, I know. I was going to take part in the 'vegan for a week' challenge with D, but reading about the vitamin K thing on line convinced me that this was not the time to do it. I've been keeping away from the green, leafy ones (though I did have spinach last night) in general, though.
We'll see tomorrow. My hematologist wasn't concerned when I brought it up. She wanted me to follow moderation in all things.
