I see that (what was) my site is still up a running and that a bunch of you regulars are still around. I haven't looked into home INR testing for many years. Whats the latest on that sort of thing? Is it still happening?

The "old days" made this what it is today. The decrease in activity is likely directly linked to my inability to put as much time into the site as I would like. Still, it continues to live on and benefit the lives of thousands in spite of my inattention. And that thanks goes to ALL OF YOU...

Hi there.. I am 14 years post op. I was wired together as well. My first impression is that this is completely normal and exactly what I experienced. I remember popping sensations for up to a year when I would sneeze or twist or some other upper body strain. I remember going to the Dr a few...

We want tell you all how much we appreciate your participation in this awesome place.

Steve - You have not overstepped your bounds. Your observations are correct. It is a challenging thing when we have conversations about things that are literally near and dear to our hearts. As long as everyone keeps their tone of type respectful, we will all continue to learn from each other.

I created this forum so it would be an option for those who could use it. When I had my surgery in 1989, I wasn't given any choices and there was nowhere to go online to ask for advice. So while recovering, I started this amazing place and now we have the pleasure of deciding when we have...

Needing a re-surgery is probably one of the things I fear the most. There is no indication I will ever need one, but we never really know do we.. What a blessing it is to have learned everything you are able to learn on this forum and in other places today with modern technology. I hope all...
