I had a DVT from my knee to my heart in 2003.  Yes, almost 3 feet long.  I have been and will be on coumadin for the rest of my life. 

Ever since I started taking the drug, I have continued to eat my Green foods with vitiman K.  The trick is to be consistant!  It is extremely rare that my levels of the drug are out of whack. 

So, I feel you should practice being consistant not absitance!

Thanks,

p.s. Read my story on Webmd.com by typing in DVT, Sherry.  My story starts on page 2 I believe.
