Hank, I seem to remember the valve/graft team of Bob and Dick kicking the butts of the valve only team of Hank and Perry in pool. (and we did it in under an hour) I guess you can blame that memory loss on your heart-lung machine. How was dinner Sat night? Where did you guys go? Dick

Kay and I made it home OK. Airports were a real pain. BobG, Janie, Billy, Gina, Hank, Lorraine, Tammy, Perry, Bob Franklin, Rob and Ben and your SO's, I had a blast. I love you guys. It is late and I'm pooped. Reunion details will follow but these are all very special people to me. I hope...

I went from 194 to 177 after surgery but am now back at 194 but it did not all return in the same place. As I can no longer lift the heavy weights in the gym, I too have lost some muscle mass. I think I replaced them with some love handles. My GP also had open heart surgery and called the...

I agree with Perry. Double doses can really cause problems. I have a small alarm clock in the den that goes off every evening at 8:00 pm. and at that time I down the meds. I also have a few spare doses in each car and my wife carries one in her purse. Dick Hooked on Coumadin

My research has determined a good martini also works.

Hey Zipper, it has been said many times on this board that most of the complaints about Coumadin come from non-coumadin users. Most of us on it just take it in stride. If you are regular in your life activities including diet, booze, execrise (which you should be doing anyway), get your INR...

Mindy, your post was very touching. All of us valve folks live in a new world. Since my surgery, I occasionally wonder: What my heart sounded like before Why I did not know I was in real danger until I was in real danger Why the good Lord decided to give me another chance Why I was...

It is a fake.

I've read alot of ******** reports about the comparison of Coumadin and and the generic, all biased one way or the other. Many of us on thei site have had problems with the generic, resulting in our INR's jumping all over the place only to stabilize after returning to Coumadin. I was told the...

What? Speak up!

We tried to drive a nail up Bob's nose in SAT but he escaped (or was the Vern?) Janie, remember to bring the hammer. We can also all get blindfolded and play nail the tail on the donkey.

to Gina to Gina Gina, some do perform extractions with the patient on Coumadin. It is rare but not unheard of. I am fixing to have a tooth pulled and my cardiologist does not want me off Coumadin for the procedure so after the Cardiologist and my dentist, who is related to me, discussed it...

Junembarch 34th 1950.

To Gisele To Gisele I self test too but before I did, I always had a stable INR then one month it was way off so the Dr. started moving my Coumadin levels up and down to try to get it back to 3.0. About 6 weeks after this roller coaster started I got an invoice from a lab I had never heard...

Damn, how can I win if I am a judge. I guess I just need to put the fix in. I know you two can be bought. I booked our flights yesterday so we are Nashville bound for sure.

Scar Contest Scar Contest I think we should also have a "best looking" scar award. Mine is healing up pretty damn good. (being covered up by hair helps)

Gina, I already have something. I was just trying to get my money back out of these guys. I bought a necklace from Medic Assist last month and got it in about 10 days. The bracelet was a bad idea anyway since I would not hav worn it in the gym or in my workshop, two places I am likely to...

If anybody has ordered any medical jewlery from Medical-ID.com, grab your cheeks. Their web site has been removed and their phone number disconnected. I spoke to the DA's office in New York and was transferred to the Consumer Fraud Division. I am completing the necessary paperwork to file a...

Hank, I understand the Protime thing and its relationship to this board. Protime/Lance just need to make sure people know he is a salesman selling a product. As Coaguchek does not sell to individuals in the US, they are not too concerned with promoting a product here they do not sell. I am...

Protime v Coaguchek Protime v Coaguchek Lance, I have a Coaguchek S and based on my independent research, there are definately pros and cons for both machines. Having you as a sponser is great but your personal comments about the Coaguchek on this board, without them here to give the down...
