Nope, Nope, Nope.....never heard of that one. We get flu shots every year and have never even thought of stopping warfarin for them. Evelyn

Wow, Rossman.......I guess I'm just glad to say that I'm sooooo out of "the loop" that I can't believe all of this has been happening. All I know is that this is one of the very best sites for anyone who is in the waiting room, having valve replacement, or for family members who need support...

Hi Scuba I can tell you that my husband's cardio told him that a glass of wine every day is absolutely ok, but a bottle in one sitting is not. The important thing is to be consistent.....my gut would be that 2-3 per game X 2 on Sunday would be too much, but that would just be my gut. I'm sure...

W O W!!! Tobago, that was quite the story. I'm just glad you're ok. Unreal!!! But you're on the mend now, and that is what is important. Evelyn

CONGRATS, ROSSMAN!!!!! Happy Grandfather's Day!!!!.......that's two, now, isn't it? Evelyn

Glad you got them,Rossman. Everything will work out ok once they're totally fitted. Evelyn

Hi Alex.... Whatever you decide will be the right decision. For my husband at 59 there was no decision....he didn't want to face the possibility of a second replacement surgery in 10-15 years, so he wanted mechanical. As to St. Jude's or On-X, we discussed it with our surgeon and his...

Welcome back HOME!!!! Isn't it wonderful to appreciate all the things you've taken for granted for so many years.....goes to show you it really IS the little things that make people happy. Keep on recovering!!!! Evelyn

Well, Rossman, I like "Compared to the prior study there has been no significant interval change." That's good and the teeth will all work themselves out. Think of the new doc as a challenge for you to mold to your liking.......and you've always been up for challenges, my man. Evelyn

Hi Angela What a great post!!!! It's so nice to be thanked for doing what we really love to do. I, too, found this site 7 years ago when my husband was told AVR was on the horizon. I can't thank everyone here enough.....there's no question, VR.COM got me through the surgery, aftercare...

Hi All Checking in....down 1.6 this week at WW. Good thing. I think putting down 6 yards of mulch in our yard and unloading it from the pickemup truck did the job. Chimpman....this is a great thread. I try to check it every day. Keep it up. Evelyn

Hi all you LOSERS!!! I haven't been on too much. Last week was a 5.2 lb. loss for me at WW. This week was a 1lb. gain. Still better than a 5lb. gain. No walking down south....hot hot hot. The treadmill has to come into our spare room in the a/c. Ev

My Hubby's surgeon told him 2.5-3.5 for his mechanical Aortic valve. Our cardio agreed and that is where he tries to stay. Sometimes it works, and some times, NOT......Remember what INR means: It's Never Right! Ev

Frick and Frack, **** and Span, they really are cuties!!! Evelyn

Hi Rossman I'm so glad you're FINALLY getting your dentures!!!! YAAAAAAAAY!!!!! They'll be beautiful and you'll be able to smile again. Ev

Happy Anniversary, Lyn and Ross......I don't know how she's done it!!!! Talon, may all your birthdays be just as happy as this one. Eat lots of cake and get it all over yourself. Enjoy, Rossman and Lyn. Evelyn

My husband said he remembers three issues. The first was not being able to sleep when he came home because he just couldn't get comfortable. The second was COUGHING AND SNEEZING, and the third was having to use that damned Spirometer for the first few days/week. Evelyn

Jeanette..... So sorry to hear you're in so much pain. Every day will make it better. I haven't been on much lately as we've been traveling and at dog shows, but am glad you chose the surgery. Take the drugs.....that's why they gave them to you. Evelyn

DITTO EVERYONE ABOVE!!! Absolutely no restrictions, no dietary limits, except my husband only has one glass of wine a day instead of none during the week and two or three on weekends. Just go with the flow. Everyone here knows more than the Drs.......that's for sure. Evelyn

Well, last night was a shocker!!! In my opinion, Gilles should have won that hands down, with Melissa second (much to my chagrin), followed by Shawn. Obviously America didn't feel that way!!! I was glad Melissa was third, but Gilles was the best dancer. Evelyn
