title: I recently had complicated retina surgery and was taken off warfarin for five days prior to the operation.  After the surgery, I was back on warfarin that evening.  A few days later a blood clot reached the right side of my brain and I have been left with some numbness and coldness on my left side.  Is there is a more conservative alternative to completely coming off warfarin?
