Hello, fellow On-X owner!

I understand the bummer that warfarin can be. I have two pieces of advice.

1. Don’t diet the dose, dose the diet. In other words, don’t try to adjust what and how you eat to fit the mg of warfarin you are taking every week.

2. I believe a large percentage of what you hear regarding warfarin is ridiculously overblown and I almost never place limits on what I do because of some fear of a bleeding event (within reason, of course.)

Thanks for the message! It's always nice to hear from others in the same position.

Re sport: I'm not too concerned about it, honestly. I do a lot of backcountry adventuring, rock climbing and pack rafting and I'm not about to stop because of an elevated increase bleed risk. I won't push it right to the edge, but I'll keep enjoying life.

Re diet: I agree! Drastically altering my diet isn't something I particularly want to do. I'm quite happy to adjust my dose as necessary.

You’re already doing much better than I was when I went through it. Best of luck to you!
