Hi SB! Nice reminders to all of us trying to stay the course through up coming holidays. I have not really gone through all my enrollment options yet. Looks like my policy from this last year would be about the same amount of coverage (very little except catastrophic) for 200 more a month and...

Agian , you must have got a good discount! Both of mine were right at a million, but I never do anything the easy way so I had a few extra charges. Glad I had insurance to pay most of it. Now I should maybe drop it and save some money? or maybe not. My new year's resolution this year is to stay...

Hello tigerlily and hope you are doing well. It always seems to take time for everyone to get on board with cardiac valve replacements. You want to go slow and listen to everything and yet you want it done if inevitable. My experience and to make it short as possible was porcine valve...

Just like choosing the valve you want you can choose however you feel comfortable testing your INR. I am here in US and prefer the coag clinic. My first few tests were all over the place as I recall. I do have a non alcoholic autoimmune disease call Primary Biliary Cirrhosis(PBC) and it was...

Whoa Superbob! Guess we should all head over to your place (300?) We live in a very small town and think all of our renter neighbors with kids have moved out so no treats here :( Packing to head to AZ this weekend. Looks like Sunday is clear through Denver so hope to make it through there...

Good job Superbob and Superman! You guys are super! lol HB we must be on same page. I have decided to be a baker the last couple weeks. Can you say chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal cookies! Tomorrow is scale day so watch for my sad face :( Time to renew my vows with my course...

Like others said here, we can only offer up our own stories and you are the one to make this decision. Speak to your cardiologist and surgeon and let them give you insight also. I have had both but am older than you are. I had a porcine tissue valve that stenosed (hope I wrote that right) a...

Great to see all the check ins! Proud of everyone for keeping those courses front and center. I have strayed off course lately so this is a boost that I need. Alright, maybe I need a kick in the butt! I DID watch exercise videos.......while eating a doughnut! Better buckle down or by spring...

Congratulations Superman! Many more to come.

Marie, welcome to the other side. Although the healing will take some time the toughest part, IMO is the waiting. Wish you well in your healing.

I would like to join the others here in wishing you the best. Coming to terms with our mortality is probably one of the hardest things. Take care.

Hi guys. The video makes me want to get up and dance! Looks like a great group. Bet you just love it HB. Not much going on here. Just starting to make some plans to head to AZ and escape this cool northwest weather. No snow here yet. My youngest grand baby turns one in a couple weeks so...

Hello, dropping by to check for posts from the "course" gang, Those pictures Anne, OMG! so beautiful there! I am truly envious of all that beauty. Your meal looks terrific also. Sorry about the shoulder problems and it seems like they should be able to do something sooner. Obviously a...

Good Morning all and guess I am late to the party again. Seems like life is just moving along smoothly and hard to post when one's life is a bit boring. I smile each and every day though as it feels so good. :) The weather map on tv is hard to watch as there has been so much devastation...

Agian, Prior to both my valve replacements I had no health problems to speak of. Following valve replacement I also had balloons and stints for blockages. MY feelings are that once my lines were all cleared my body just could not handle it (blood flowing with gusto). Doctors found that I...

:) Good to see you back Superbob and appreciate any and all who keep this going as we stay on course. Saw my pcp today and my hemoglobin has topped 13 now at 13.1. I think I feel better now than since my FIRST ohs back in 2012. Best news of all, next appointment in SIX months. I am so...

Two colonoscopys in the last two years. Off warfarin the 5 days before and bridged with both. Up to you I guess.

Superbob, Wasn't sure if you would post but am very glad to read your results. You and your family continue to be in my prayers.

Harriet, Hard decisions for you to make at this time. I have been in just about the same place you are so I truly know how hard of work it takes to get the answers you need to go forward. I am glad to see you are making more appointments and seeing more doctors. It seems like a person just...

Good Friday Morning. Talk about late to the party :( I almost didn't post as I am still living that dream. Normal life.....day to day.....nothing is happening....and loving every minute of it!!! I agree on the exercising to lose weight doesn't work for me. On the other hand that exercising...
