Arthur, the things that made us unique as young men, don't matter in middle age. According to my son, not only did our generation mess up the world (he's probably right) but we've also become a 'meme'. I notice you have a beard :) Like Diocletian, I have retired to making plastic model planes.

Mooooo, I say moooo.

Mixed grill.

On Warfarin? We have a winner.

My mother has a friend who sticks around all day long. I would feel like a trapped animal, if it happened to me. She's so dumb and has an annoying voice. I suggest a couple of scripts, you can use as an exit strategy. How about looking vague and saying you have an awful migraine and need to...

I take fishoil. I haven't noticed any probs with my inr. There are some populations that consume lots of fish. They do ok. Would like to hear opinions.

Bob. How great to hear from you!! There was a guy in my cohort who got a clot in his leg. Dissolved with heparin, like your guys are doing. Sounds like a hiccup. That's great news! I needed some. Oh man. Sooo cool to hear from you.

I agree will Pellicle. People like us tend to be healthier. No, seriously. My problem now is weight gain. I have embraced my inner fat *******, but would like to be healthier. Pretty soon, I'll be an old *******. It's all good. Your son, sweetie, will be a young man, then a middle aged man and...

I take a baby aspirin. That's what we call them. Almost sounds cute.

****, those thoughts must have haunted you.

Jimmy, Bob Marley was from Jamaica.

Trin, he'll be an adult soon. As we get older we accumulate medications we take. He has a valve for life. There'll eventually be an anticoagulant that doesn't need testing, but even if there isn't.... meh. Don't try to wrap your head around a transcatheter. It's too hard because they're pretty...

Do you think this was because of the lower inr recommendation?

Gingivitis causes gums to bleed. I guess it makes sense this would become more obvious with a higher INR. I've been schooled by the dental hygienist, a nice girl. It's not hard to maintain good dental hygiene, through proper brushing and flossing... Yes, I know it sounds like nerdy crap, but...

I have an on-x. I don't treat my INR any differently than I would with any other mechanical valve. I aim for 2.5 - 3ish. I have not been convinced it's smart to go down to 1.5.

The hound was spared.

Well said.

- One of our members has had a stent... Do you want to share your story with the group? - Hic...

Wtf are you talking about? LOL

I've been told it's unlikely I will die. As such, I will have my lunch without distraction.
