Sounds great. Pradaxa use has been approved in EU a couple of years ago, so it's not being used around here much yet, where the most used anticoagulant is Sintrom (acenocumarol, a warfarin-like drug). I had heard good comments about Pradaxa, yours adds to them, so I wish more patients start using it over here. You don't know how hard it's managing a severe epistaxis (nosebleed) on a patient taking anticoagulants
I wish it goes well and you can stop using it.
Glad for your recovery NWT. Quit smoking, is the best investment on your health you can make.
