Until I had my ankle/foot joints fused...surgery required coming off Warfarin, transitioning to Lovenox Injections twice a day for week prior and for 2 weeks after then transitioning back to Warfarin
Stabbing myself in the belly twice a day was PITA ---not so much because of the injections but due to the bruising. Had yellow/bluish spots all over my stomach
Back to regular dosage and 6 week testing on Warfarin
With a mechanical mitral valve, this is what I have to go through for any procedure that may require surgery, including a colonoscopy. Not fun! But necessary. Learned to LIVE with it.
