Very good questions, and for good measure, dark stool is blood and needs to be at the ER.

I take both due to St. Jude's valve and eye stroke. It can be done this way, pellicle.

I not only take warfarin with a St. Jude's valve, I also take a lose dose aspirin due to a stroke I had in 2016, valve replacement was in 2001. And you are correct, there is no call on daily aspirin. But there is the Pro-time, or INR that there is a range for both Aspirin and warfarin use.

Quit the caffeine. Better for your heart if you do. Good you gave up the alcohol. Keep up with the exercise. And welcome to the club.

Recliners and life chairs are great, even for sleeping for the first two weeks. And sleep on the first floor. For you do not want to pull up on the railing going up the stairs. I had to work out a system on the bus, for the cord is up. But I managed at home alone. No weight lifting. And be good...

I had issues back when I was 10 years old, and the nurse did it on both arms. It was new on kids back in the 1980's. Things they learned way back on us kids.

Had a friend recommend this place in 2001, a few months before my Aortic valve replacement. It helped me a lot back then as it does now. I have a Mitral Valve calcification now, due to age and past surgery, but am being monitored carefully. When I had my repair on the aortic valve, bypass was...

I also prefer the lab that is into Pro time and uses the same machine as those on the site. We can get the numbers within seconds, and we can figure out things if the number is too low or too high. And if too high, I go to the regular lab for the retest. And get the correct dosing. I have pump...
