Unfinished projects

[olzed]

WOW. 7.5 INR. MAN YOU SHOULD BE MOST careful. Don't even stub your toe.I had a Coronary Artery blockage in 1995 and have been on Warfarin ever since, as there is some damage to my pump. I had to go off the rat poison for a prostate biopsy a couple of years ago. The doc that performed the biopsy said to stay off the poison for a week in case of bleeding. On the seventh day a clot formed and caused a small stroke, known as a T.I.A.

That was scary as I could not read or speak, but they put me on a Heparin drip and dispersed the clot.

My doc aims for INR between 2 and 2.5. with blood test every 3 weeks.

Now living every day with prostate cancer and a crook ticker, but life is great!!!

Only have one project. My 72 Z. Just resprayed a front fender and it turned out good.

Cheers,

Brian

Good luck Leonard getting it under control. I have been lucky so far with the Warfarin I have been taking for about 3 1/2 years now, since my heart attack. I had a couple of stents put in. The doctor says I'm doing well as can be expected now but still doesn't approve of my projects in the garage. You probably feel the same and can't change who you are or give up on current projects. I don't move so fast any more but the desire to get things done is still there and I do keep at it.

Just coincidence, but I have just this past week, thinned the Z stockpile, selling all the Z parts I have been collecting for several years, for possible future projects. I sold everything to one individual and only kept what is going on my present project. I figure after this car is done, I'll get my Z kicks from driving it, instead of working on it, but luckily they are never done.

Years ago, I sold off or gave away most all my other major projects, realizing they needed to be in the hands of someone who could give them the attention needed.

Take extreme care Leonard until you are stabilized and do what the Doc says. He knows best. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished Z even if it is a long, long time after April or May.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. For the past two days couldn't go out of the house for fear of the worst. Was told even if I tripped and fell, I'd never make it long enough for the ambulance to get here. Apparently I am one of the "rare" ones that has extreme reactions to the poisen. Tested at a 3 INR today, so bought a new brake master and hope to install without skinning my knuckles (which they tell me could also have been fatal). I've always been a rough and tumble type. Watched more movies in the past week than I have in the past 50 years combined. (Elvis makes a lousy Indian by the way) Going absolutely nuts! Better than the alternative though (I think). Hoping his turns into "something I had when I was young". Plus, I have had time to take care of a few other "unfinished projects" so perhaps not a total loss.
