Yeah! Congratulations Shelly. So glad to hear you are doing well! I'm on my third year as well. Having a few problems recently with my INR but otherwise I'm doing well.

Thank you. Erin I hope your INR gets better. Mine hovers around 1.7. They extended our range. It now is 1.5 to 2.5. I appreciate the messages.
