I’ve written numbers of blog posts about numbers during the last 3,296 days, although I am not sure what that exact number is.
I was thinking about numbers today because of the rising numbers of COVID cases worldwide. Because the Omicron variant is so highly contagious, those numbers seem very scary.
I was also thinking of numbers today because every other Sunday I need to check my INR numbers. I check those numbers every other week because I have a mechanical heart valve, so I need to take a number of anti-coagulant pills every day.
The INR numbers, for me, are supposed to be between 2.5 – 3.5. (The INR number for a typical person is supposed to be 1.) If the numbers are too low, my mechanical heart valve might clog and need to be replaced. If the numbers are too high, I might bruise and even bleed internally.
My numbers are usually pretty steady, but sometimes they are a little too high or low. There are very few numbers that have been really scary. But I still get nervous whenever I’m waiting a number of seconds for my home testing machine to give me those numbers every other Sunday.
Here is the number I got this morning:
That is outside the ideal numbers of 2.5 – 3.5, but not by much. My anticoagulant nurse, Veronica, will call my cell phone number tomorrow and, I assume, tell me to eat higher numbers of spinach leaves this week and/or reduce the numbers of pills I take.
Do you see numbers in my other images for today?
Out of those numbers of National Days, I’ll be celebrating National Sunday Supper Day at home with my husband Michael and my son Aaron.
Here’s “Numbers” by Kraftwerk.
Over the years, I’ve taken countless numbers of photos, just so I can end these blog posts with thanks to YOU.
Hope the numbers soon come down!
Me too!
I also hope your numbers come down and also that perhaps that’s simply a misreading and that your real numbers are actually lower. I also know numbers can vary from person to person. My cancer markers have been above the normal range since, well, since I finished chemo, but both my oncologists have said it’s nothing to worry about. So numbers can be tricky.
Numbers can be very tricky and I appreciate the number of comments I’ve gotten from you over the years, Chris.
I saw a number of cute and happy things in this post and hope your personal numbers come down and your age numbers continue to go up for a long time.
I number this among the best comments ever, beth.
You have a number of great landscapes. It’ll be interesting to see the wintery scenes yet to come.
I’m sure there will be a great number of them! Thanks, Maria.
I hope your numbers get back in range, Ann.
Working on it, my friend!
