A Funny Wet Week
I’ve had a funny few days as regards my health.
Tursday morning, my INR was 2.1.
On Friday night, I wasn’t sleeping very well and got up at three on Saturday morning. But after a couple of mugs of tea, I was feeling a lot better.
I had my usual Saturday morning breakfast in Leon on Moorgate, but I did get slightly confused with my shopping in Marks & Spencer. I put this down to my eyesight having an off day. Is that normal after two cataract operations?
I slept better on Saturday night! But was this because I went to bed before instead of after Match of the Day and then watched it on Sunday morning.
On Sunday morning, I went out to do a bit of shopping, but it was really just to get out and then it was walking in the pouring rain.
Monday was a quiet day, after breakfast in Leon on Moorgate, I wrote for most of the day. My INR was a bit low at 2.2.
Tuesday morning, it was a repeat of Friday night and I got up at four and had a couple of mugs of tea. It was another breakfast in Leon on Moorgate and a visit to M & S. After I returned, I wrote for most of the day, as it was too wet to go outside.
In the afternoon, I started to get a bit unsteady on my feet and even thought about calling 999. But after two mugs of tea and a can of Adnams, I regained my balance and never fell. My blood pressure was fine and the only unusual thing, was that my left food was quite red. But it does this sometimes.
Wednesday was uneventful and I had lunch with a friend at Cote in Sloane Square.
Today, Thursday my INR is down to 2.
I feel OK, but it does seem, that for some reason my INR has tended to slump during the week.
I just wonder if my leaky skin, just lets water out, which surely must lower the INR.
Does my foot go red, as the red blood corpuscles are too big to get through my skin?

Not clear quite what’s going on, if anything?
I was recommending your blog this morning to my financial adviser up in Glasgow………..as we’ve been greening the portfolio………
And I’m pleased to say that my son’s girlfriend, a power engineer (ex Cardiff) is a faithful follower of the blog for over a year now. She works in DNV in Bristol………..

I think the weather is such, that water leaks through my skin. We all have to live by the laws of physics, so as the water goes out, I get dehydrated.

having had similar symptoms myself with red and painfall feet at night, suffered a stroke last Saturday night, and a week’s stay in hospital, I hope you are not experiencing the same malady. typing is hard now due to a week left arm.

I had my stroke twelve years ago.
My left arm is dodgy, as the school bully broke it in 1961. I type with one hand.
