I have realized that the morning after blood work tends to feel like a results show of American Idol. Now let me explain because this comparison may seem to be a stretch.
With American Idol, you perform and you don't know how you do. You know the results you hope you will get, which are all positive of course, but you know you can always be thrown that curve ball to give you completely negative news. The hopefuls have to wait a day until they find out the results, and throughout that time, nerves are at an all time high.
Same can be said for when I get blood work. I go in with high hopes of getting good results and an INR that stays where the doctor wants it. I wait a full day before I hear anything from the doctor, and anxiously await a phone call in the morning (typically Friday) to give me my results.
That being said, my INR is once again where it is supposed to be (YES! I rock!) and I should be staying with the dosage of medicine I am currently taking. Dr. P however seemed to forget the amount of Warfarin I was taking and I had to kindly remind her. Totally fine.
P.S. my favorite time of year has begun. TOURNAMENT TIME. Anyone see that great performance by Uconn? And the wonderful news that Louisville lost? I was at work and couldn't watch that little triumph but I was SO HAPPY to hear....unlike all those with screwed over brackets.
YAYYYY for good INR levels <3
