Besides there's nothing much more boring than hospital TV and watching the people walk by the door out in the hall. Good point. If he resists again, I'll tell him what you said.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Had blood tests run last week ... 15 vials of blood. My doctor saw something unusual in my clotting factor and had her assistant call me today to say I have to go back on Xarelto for the trip. Have a consultation with doctor next Wednesday. I'm disappointed that I have to go back on the medicine but relieved that I'll be protected during the trip. Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Being sick on vacation is not fun! Last year I got sick a week or two after we got home. Or that's when I first had symptoms. It was awful. Never want to go through that again! I'm anxious about what my doctor will tell me on Wednesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No sense worrying about it now. Gretchen, you're right. Worst case scenario would be that my doctor says I have to stay on the medication long term. But that's really no big deal in the long haul.
