I'm 3 months past my double Pulmonary Emboli-
had to do the Lovenox for the first 2 months, twice a day in the tummy.
The longer I did it, the more "poke sensitive" my belly got. It seemed to just get worse over time.
Not to mention all the nickle sized bruises that were coming up after about 3 weeks every time I injected myself.
Once her coumadin levels stabilize, she will be able to stop the injections. Keep close track on the "eats" and "do not eats"-it makes HUGE variances in the coumadin measurments.

Best of luck to her...it won't be forever.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
