It's not so bad - I've been on Xarelto ten years. One tablet with dinner ... much better than the alternative. So glad she's ok.

A year or so ago, my brother had gallbladder removal surgery, but it took weeks for him to be out of rehabilitation (he was on a catheter then) because he developed blood clots in his urinary bladder. The final one was the size of a grapefruit. He was okay after that.

That is awesome news, yankee87. I had a TIA (ministroke) due to APHIB and am now on thinners. Luckily, Portland has a critical care stroke wing, and they got me back on my feet. Hopefully, she'll come out of it without a hitch.

Thanks so much for letting us know!

Definitely sounds like something with celebrating! What�s she allowed to eat and drink? Something to toast with, even if it�s water, tea, chocolate milk, or even just plain white actual toast! (Whatever’s safer!)

I just got home from nearly the same thing, and we're trying to figure out what the cause was.

Also, they sent me home on Eliquis, $300/month, forevermore. I nearly choked on that. Surely blood thinners needn't be so expensive?!?

Anyway, best wishes to you both. I've got a 12" gash from here to there with staples in it that itches like hell, and getting comfortable is near impossible. Hope she does better!
