You realize you responded to yourself here? No wonder you thought that they were good questions. 😂 Probably why it’s exactly what you’re thinking about. 🤔

Walking is key. They’ll have you walking a ton in the hospital. They wouldn’t release me until I could walk up a flight of stairs. I got home and went with a relative to the store the next day. Had to pick up some stuff for my son’s birthday. The relative was because I wasn’t cleared to...

I had a colonoscopy years ago while on warfarin. I’ve also had a second heart surgery while on warfarin. Gallbladder and appendix removed. Elbow fracture. Broken thumb. Vasectomy. Etc. Sometimes I bridged. Sometimes they just took me below 2.0 INR with no bridging. I guess being a...

Along these lines, when I had to have my gallbladder removed, the team and I agreed it was best to just take the appendix at the same time. My appendix wasn’t giving me any trouble at the time, but a family history plus the motivation to reduce the number of invasive procedures while on...

My first trip through the Canyon was much hotter. Well over 100F at the bottom. That was a couple miles from the trail head climbing out the second time (went in consecutive years). But it was much cooler in June. Went in August the first time. Mid 80’s maybe?

Not as energetic looking as you, but backpacking out of the Grand Canyon at 50.

He’s living overseas without access to American keyboards. You wouldn’t understand.

It’s an off topic thread. Some of us enjoy it.

@Critter - your Astro work is pretty great. I lack the patience, the equipment, and the dark skies for it. I did a single exposure of the Milky Way at a vacation rental a couple years back. But none of the stacking and noise removal and star tracking exploits.

I’ve been under the impression that my valve has a lifetime guarantee.

Cool. Let us know how it goes! Hope it works for you.

So if Wikipedia says the sun sets in the west, that’s inaccurate because it’s in Wikipedia? Interesting take. Was the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America not unanimously adopted on July 4, 1776? Christmas is not December 25th?

When I was a teenager recovering from open heart, I did a lot of mall walking. My folks had a rotation of family friends that would take turns driving me out to the mall for my walks. Me and the blue hairs strolling past the closed stores. The mall doors opened for that purpose an hour or...

Makes you want to take a stroll up the river to the mountains.

I don’t really have a dog in this hunt, but if I were 64 and my medical team was telling me that this is the last open heart they were going to do on me, AND that I could not have the one option that is most likely able to ensure no subsequent operations are necessary - I would insist that they...

Had a friend who developed alopecia after a massive heart attack and bypass surgery. No warfarin. Just a response to trauma.

I’m amazed at the lack of side effects other report. 33 years on warfarin (since I was a teenager). Weight gain Weight loss Hair’s going grey Skin has way more wrinkles than when I started My hairline isn’t what it used to be either Occasional back pain Very fertile apparently (five kids...

You mean you weren’t? 😂

Just getting in there first! 😂
