In reply to the discussion: Once again, I am terrified. [View all]summer_in_TX
(3,405 posts)75. I've been praying for you daily, Muriel.
I set a reminder on my computer to make sure I don't forget. I pray that your treatment will cure you.
I'm in agreement with you not going off of your blood thinner.
My mom had a-fib. She went off her blood thinner for a short time, threw a clot and had a stroke.
She survived two more weeks. But the blood thinner she needed for the a fib and her heart was antithetical to the healing from the surgery for her stroke.
We made the decision to bring her home to hospice and we and her big extended family and friends loved on her before she passed away on their sun porch two days later.
