BRIAN POSTED THE FOLLOWING UPDATE THIS AFTERNOON : -----Still pretty wiped out. But nice solid repairs. More soon.

That sounds like great news.....I will keep checking for updates and push the good vibes. ((hugs)) And many thanks to Mary.

Tons of hugs and good vibes going out to my valve Bro, Brian. (((hugs))) (((hugs)))

An INR of 4.1 is no big deal and I usually wouldn't make any changes for that except to enjoy a bigger portion of spinach or broc in my dinner. Dose changes for me show up after about 2 days. I've been doing my own testing and dosing for 10 years, no problems at all. Eat well and keep doses...

Steve, I'm very sorry to hear of your PM issue....sorry, I don't have any experience to share....Best wishes for a fast fix !

Congrats on your first Valversary---enjoy many more !

I'm glad to read that you kept your doses the same (despite your cardio) with your already 'low-end' INR readings. And, YES, if it was me, I would bump up today's dose....

Protect the scar from the sun this year and it should heal nicely. Mine is very straight and clean looking after 10 yrs, but all of my sternum wires protrude making it a lot more 'nasty' looking for the people who don't know what OHS is all about. I don't care what others think---this was my...

For me, the pre-op consisted of chest x-ray, blood tests, meeting with an internist, meeting with the anesthesiologist assitant, meeting with a cardiac dept. nurse, and some general info booklets and regi papers. Get it over with ! Best wishes.

Congrats on your 4th :)

Praline, I am so sorry to read that this cancer treatment is ongoing.....Kick it in the butt, and many of us will hold you close and send many positive vibes and hugs.

Congrats on your 3rd Valversary--enjoy many more !

CONGRATS !!! I enjoyed some choc on your behalf. :-)

Hello Praline, it's been a while......Sorry that I missed your post, but glad to hear that you are recovering. ((Hugs))

Oh no....a very heartbreaking accident. RIP little pup.

Bummer.......Hope that you get through all the prep and the scope without too much trouble. Best wishes !

Howdy ! Guess who ? LOL I'm glad to read that you are walking again, albeit with a much younger companion than you were previously accustomed to. Keeping a little bag of treats in your pocket should help to keep Dasher's focus on you instead of pulling.

Already sent BD wishes on FB, but wanted to do it again here......'cuz you are worth it. LOL :Face-Laugh:

If all is good, then the time between echoes seems to spread further apart. I had an echo 2 weeks ago and it was 20 months since my last one. I'm 9 1/2 yrs post op.

I was pretty sure that I remembered these "analgesic" / "anti-inflammatory" creams as having NO real effect on coagulation and INR... but they CAN effect your platelets and if that is an issue for you, or you have other bleeding issues, or if you are taking daily Aspirin, then best to be...
