RE: Using Resources-the many members who live here full time
Moisheh, thank you for the reply. Here they prick the end of her finger and then
slide that into a small reader that gives them her INR and they adjust, or not, her Warfarin dose. We sought to do this a few years ago in Puerto Penasco and the lab drew blood from her arm and seemed to know nothing about dosage. It may well be that they do not have the device to test for an INR reading.

Galvanizd, thank you for the reply. Been to Puerto penasco several times, but not in the last couple years. She is 85, I am 84. If it happens, I'm sure this would be our last trip.

RE: Using Resources-the many members who live here full time
I intend to come to Puerto Penasco in December. My mate has a pacemaker and is on Warfarin. Mexicoruss was kind enough to point me to San Jose Clinic. Before I attempt to call them, does any one have more info? Does someone there speak English? She needs to be tested for anti coagulation and her Warfarin adjusted, if necessary. Thank you for any info.

Doctor in Puerto penasco.
We are seriously considering coming to Rocky point the end of December. My mate is failing, still getting around. memory going away. main thing is she needs her blood checked for anti coagulation.
There must be some one living or spending a lot of time in Puerto Penasco that knows a doctor who can do this and speaks English, maybe with an email address. I would be grateful. Thank you.

Doctor in Rocky Point
In need of some help. My mate is on Warfarin and has her blood checked for coagulation regularly, in case her dosage needs adjustment. I was in touch with a doctor there in Rocky point who said he makes house calls and could do the procedure. i have lost contact and I am hoping some one reading this can help. Thank you.

RE: Safety in Puerto Penasco
Found out today that a home kit is off the table for various reasons. Still hoping to find a doctor or lab that speaks English and is seeing patients. Thanks, all.

RE: Safety in Puerto Penasco
Mexicoruss, thanks every body for the replies. I have an Inogen 4 coming. have been informed I can get a home test kit for her blood and will be able to determine her warfarin dosage.
This, if it happens, will most likely be our last trip to Mexico, we are in our eighties. If any one knows of an English speaking doctor or lab that does blood work and knows what they are doing, please inform me. Thank you all.

Thanks everybody. I am going to ask her anti coagulation people about a home monitoring system.

RE: Safety in Puerto Penasco
A lab here at home takes a sample of her blood and then immediately adjust her warfarin, if necessary. I have nothing to do with it, except I drive.

Safety in Puerto Penasco
Mexicoruss, Hoping I can get some info and maybe advise from you. My mate and I are planning to come to Rocky point in January. We have been there several times, but not since covid started. She is on oxygen therapy and we will have a portable machine with us. She is also on warfarin for her blood and needs to have her blood checked for coagulation and I am having a hell of a time finding a doctor or lab that speaks English and can do this. I have been advised by a resident there to not come. Perhaps you can offer some help. Thank you very much.
