Glad to hea you're back home. I know how hard it is to be sick & not quilting, just hang in there & the "quilting bug" will get you soon. Just go slow & before you know it you'll be quilting again. Take care & I'm praying for you. And sending you a Big Bear Hug & a pat on the back.....

My husband has been on blood thinners since he was 32- artifical aortic valve. So that makes it 20 years now.
Just take your time and read the rules about what to eat etc...Spinach is always a problem for him.
Everyone is different and routine is very important.
He just got a home monitoring system. He checks his blood levels at home --kinda like diabetics do.
Good-luck & take your time recovering-- ask for help and don't wait to go to the doctor!!
Maybe you should read some of the quilt novels (Jennifer C) or try some hand work.. or just look at everyones beautiful work here on QB!! You'll be up and sewing all in good time!!

When I read you were breathless, I knew right away it had to be clots in your lungs. I had them and in my legs and was in the hospital ICU for several days, then on the progressive floor for the remainder of 2 weeks. That was 6 years ago and I've been on coumadin/warfarin since then. Still short of breath, but doing so much better. Good luck on your recovery and keep on quilting.....
