Gee, they must the same Dr as me, mine didn’t keep up with assessing my warfarin levels & they got so high it caused a subdural haematoma, bleeding around the brain. The only reason I’m still alive is I knew something was badly wrong and called my Mum who came and got me & we went to the hospital, if I’d just gone to bed, just figured I’d be ok in the morning, I’d be dead, no exaggeration I’m damn lucky to still be here, I have no memory after calling my Mum until I woke up in the neurosurgery ward after having a hole drilled in my head to release the pressure, oh well, I got a good haircut, all shaved on one side!
