Thanks everyone for your support. I'm home with the doggies now. He was watching TV and going to take a sleeping pill about 9:00, so hopefully, he'll get a little sleep tonight. His heart failure doc came to see him and said that all the heart tests turned out fine. Good news. We are just waiting for the carotid test - (fingers crossed) hope it will be OK too!
Betsi, I agree about coumadin, but the last time he was on it, we were told he qualified for a home monitoring machine and if that is the case, then it will be OK as we can get it regulated ourselves. We didn't get the machine because his coumadin was only short term. This will be permanent, so we will definitely get the machine this time. Gary has taken Lovenox just a few days before starting coumadin. It caused so much bruising that it looked like he had been beaten badly in a battle!!!

A home monitoring machine sounds wonderful! I'm sorry he has to add a medicine, but at least he won't have to go to the lab every few days. Between 2 shots of lovenox and 2 shots of insulin a day, Mike is one big bruise.
I hope you can get some rest tonight..the hospital should provide sleeping pills for spouses

Oh, Gayle, I've been very busy and just logged on to find this. So hope all goes well with the tests. So sorry you and Gary are going through all of this, but so glad that the symptoms are all gone!!! Perhaps this was the warning call that will help avert something that could have been much worse.
You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Gayle...I'm so sorry you and Gary are going through this. I'm sick with the flu and couldn't get on yesterday and not sure how long at a time today. I hope they have some answers for you today. I'll try to get on later for an update. You and Gary are both in my prayers.

Gayle,
I am so sorry to see this. You and Gary are in my prayers. My Mom was on coumadin for years, way before regulatory machines. It really kept her going for a long time.
