    Recently told I need valve replacement but may not be able to take warfarin

    It seems like you have a need to embellish a LOT. Someone once told me looooooooong** ago that if you feel the need to embellish then you dont really have an argument. Dave ** yea I am that old :(

    Many UK / NHS members? Today's routine check up wasn't routine!

    I dont know if you have read any of my post but for some reason I feel compelled to tell my experience. Back on Dec 1 1969 I was blessed with a 102 draft number and a few weeks later came the draft notice. So at Fort Bragg NC in June 1970 at the entrance physical, I was told I had a heart...

    Recovery

    Howdy welcome to this fantastic forum :) I was under the knife in Portland Oregon on 9/23/08 a day that will live in infamy for the rest of my life :) It seems like I have a bit different experence with the recovery. It was a long road over a few years that lead to it. Back in 1969 I was...

    From possible to confirmed BAV and all that is to come

    ROFLMAO But it can be a bit reassuring when I get in bed to hear it for about 5 seconds :) When I think about it I can hear it but when not thinking about it never bothers me :)

    That has to be the most intelligent question in this thread, thanks. That has happened 1 time in the past month, no idea why. It was 4.56* they said no warfarin for 2 days then half dose for the next 2, then retest. * best guess at 73 my memory is not great.

    "The INR test should be done WEEKLY, not once a month. INR can change from day to day, and waiting a month to detect changes could be extremely dangerous." YES it can change from day to day, so WHAT? dont over react. It depends on what you eat. This process is called a LOOP, we change the...

    Lisa2 I MUST say you should talk to a lawyer, it is very VERY unacceptable for any doctor to this unless it was talked about FIRST. The thing is some doctors think of themselves as demi GODS and above us lessor mortals. The only way some people learn is when it cost them MONEY, think about...

    I would get the mechanical valve because of your age. I have the St Jude** mechanical valve that will out last the soft valve by a long time. There is a lot of info on this. This is your choice, dont let ANYONE talk you into something you dont want. With the soft valve you will probably need...
