Dissection Dissection Rob, I have the same valve and graph but pls. explain just what is a "dissection."

Vit. K Vit. K I also avoid Vit.K if at all possible. I believe it keeps my INR much more stable. I was a 2.9 last month and a 3.1 yesterday. Doesn't get much better than that. I have replaced Vit.K with two glasses of red wine a day. (the Janie approach)

Phil, if you can get into the old forum, read the personal stories. I took off 3 months because both my Cargo and cutter wanted me to. As I tend to push, it was good that I did because the body does need time to heal. Some have only been out half of that time. When I did return, I hit it...

I hate to disagree with Gillian but it is an issue to some. We joke because most of us have really positive attitudes and it is easier to make light of a subject. I, as many others, have experienced some form of memory loss but it is generally short term and most of the stuff you forget comes...

We had a set of 2-way radios but we never used them because I slept so much the first week my wife kept coming in to see if I was dead.

INR Machines INR Machines I have a machine and I am of the opinion that lab testing is not all that accurate depending on many factors. I discovered that Lab Corp, who is contracted to do my bloodwork put of my Cardiologist's office, does not even test in the same town. I live in Houston and...

Post your Dr. horror story here. If it is somewhere else on this board, do a cut and paste and stick it here. As I am seeing them all over the board, I believe we need a specific home for them. Let the process begin. Maybe in a few months we can vote on the best horror story.

Hey Bob, don't hold back. Please tell us how you really feel. Man, we sure are hearing a bunch of Dr. horror tales here lately. I think we need to start a new thread.

I am doing both. Home testing with periodic lab work at the dr's office. We are still going through the process but I expect I will end up doing lab work every 3 to 6 months depending on what we decide.

horns horns Gina, I have the horns. I'll bring them to Nashville and even spring for new batteries. I'm sure many are wondering just what the hell we are all talking about. I'll have to try to track down the horn pics. They are in a disk somewhere.

How about Gina with horns.

Gina, it will be nice to see your nice smile on the board. I believe I have that pic you want on a disk here somewhere. I can email it to you if you no longer have it (and if I can locate it). I believe it is one I took of you (without the horns) in SA. Hopefully Hank can copy it over.

My arrangement with my dr. is that I fax my INR results to him. He writes on the same fax to change or keep the current doseage and faxes it back to me. I get a turnaround the same day and it takes about 5 minutes of his time. Also, my fax page is cumulative so he can see all past INR's with...

New Dr. New Dr. I have been on Coumadin for a little over a year and discovered you develop a pretty good sense of your doseage. My Cardo and I actually discuss my doseage and once we disagreed. I thought his change would raise my INR too much so we actually agreed to "split the...

To Billy To Billy You stick with Bob and me. We'll keep you out of trouble. With Gina, Rain and Janie there it is bound to be fun. Dick

Dick's Saying Dick's Saying Janie, Rain, you two always say it wrong. It is "Every day above ground is a plus." I am going to have to get Father Bob to spank you ladies if you can't get it right.

reunion reunion Bob, I'll hang out with you when the gang goes to the grand old opra. I've been to Nashville many times and have never gone. Hate to spoil my record.
