Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. Well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. Now, in high definition, this is your news 13 skywatch forecast. Zack good sunday morning to you all and happy superbowl sunday to all you panthers fans out there. Clear conditions to kick off our sunday, but there is going to be some weather on the way for your come womaning work week. There is one system that right now is along the coast of the carolinas, even down into georgia as well as well ass northern florida. This is actually a very powerful storm. Its going to continue to kick up a lot of rain and mixing in even some snow as you make your way further north towards virginia beach. But, thats not going to be the system t tt we are concerned with, for our purposes monday and tuesday when we start to see aa wintry mix. Its all going to be coming from the west. The area of low pressure is actually going to be diving south and we will drag the cold canadian mass down towards the mountains as well as the upstate. But bringing along with it more moisture content. We want to bring it into motion and show you when the rain will show up and when we transition to snow. Clear conditions throughout the day on sunday. Those are wind vexes, when you increase them you see gusts 2025 Miles Per Hour later on this afternoon as well. So the sunshine and the brighter conditions are going to be around but you may have a breezy condition overall. Watch what happens as we head into the overnight hours, bringing us into monday morning commute. You start to see already some rain and snow moving towards Western North carolina. Now, this is ahead of the cold front and it continues to progress on through, we will see that wintry mix bringing us right into the afternoon hours. This is at 6 p. M. Tomorrow. We are seeing snow on the map here. Its all in blue. And as you make your way east, temperatures will keep things for liquid precipitation, but i dont think there will be a whole lot of accumulation to be seen on monday. Notice what happens as we head into tuesday. Our temperatures monday evening are falling off dramatically, and we will transition all the remnants of the storm into snow. But you see it right along the North Carolina and tennessee border, and i think thats where the brunt of the accumulation is certainly going to be. So, as we put this into motion futurecast, we are showing just about less than a half inch of snow, i think, for most of us, especially for those east of i26 and as you make your way south of i40. But right along the border we can see upwards of 23 and at the higher accumulations possibly even above that. This is something we will be closely monitor. Temperatures this afternoon going to be hovering around our average for the time of year into the upper 40s and low 50s. But watch what happens as that system does roll through and we get to the sevenday forecast. It will be a nice day out in california for the superbowl. We are looking at the 70s with plenty of sunshine on the way. Not going to be the case as we two into tuesday and wednesday. Back into the upper 20s and low 30s. Overnight lows, down into the teens. So, a very chilly start on Tuesday Morning and clearer conditions for the educational background of the week.

Its small and intricate so, you know, if you have a piece of jewelry, you look at it and you you look at it closely. My first step is finding what i want to make. And i then ask how am i going to put that together . Give it a little scrub with the brush. The bones i use, i get a lot from, i will call it, from animals i find are are given to me. They might be skeltons or might be the full animal and i process them. Usually i will brewery them in containers with holes in it and leave it and let nature take its course. Each piece is just kind of a new challenge. So you take and file off the full edge but i do think i am least i hope i am. Evan gloria stye physical exam doesnt feel the burn.
