Both dogs are registered Japanese Kennel Club (JKC) Akita (brindle and a red). There is an Akita movie with Richard Gere coming out, see link http://www.hachi-movie.jp/ that is already playing in Japan. I've just been dragging my feet on getting the colonoscopy done and thought the virtual...

I'm a happy Medco user and do my re-fills on line at their web site. I get a three month supply for $10 (no shipping charge) and typically get email correspondence when the prescription can be ordered. Just call me lazy but waiting in line at the pharmacy is a pain, I can always expect about 5...

Before my OHS, I was always seem to be the one in the family that got bitten by any and every flea in comparison to my wife (we're big dog lovers). Fleas just seemed to like my blood better or maybe I ran hotter but for what ever reason I would always seem to have a bite here and there no...

Silly question, but what size tablet of warfarin/coumadin do you get? I take 3 mg 5 days a week and then 2 mg 2 days a week, so I normally get the 2 mg tablet. I know my dose is pretty low compared to most but I would prefer to get the 1 mg tablets due to my INR being so incosistent but I...

When I first mentioned the ticking noise to my cardio he said that it was only a problem if you hear it stop ticking........ Anyway after several months of ticking I stopped hearing it consciously and don't even think about it. From time to time the ticking noise pops up as if someone turned...

Another Excel User Another Excel User I'm also using Excel, it does not excellent job when using it as a flat data base table. I don't make any graphs in Excel but I do have a formulas to see my average. Any recording method will help provide visibility and spot any unusal trends so the $30...

Hang In There Hang In There Sorry to hear about your job loss but keep your chin up. You will bounce back and just keep everything is perspective. You have friends (here at the site), you have family, and best of all your a cardiac survivor. In my opinion you've already made a good start...

INRatio INRatio I've been using INRatio for 14 months and have been testing myself every other week. PROs: Easy to use, nice large screen letters, still using the same original batteries, not sure how much memory is in the INRatio but it is still keeping all of my original INR numbers from...

My Story My Story In June of 2006 I was diagnosed with severe mitral regurgitation which was discovered by a heart murmur. After getting an TE and angiogram tests, the diagnosis indicated that I had ruptured chordae to one leaflet. I had three separate cardiac surgeons (which includes...

Nice to hear from another PM type, I'm a Project Engineer. As you already know most projects have some kind of stress: cost, schedule, technical.... otherwise they wouldn't need us. Last year I had my mitral valve replaced and took a total of three months off, I was in ICU for the first 32...

I've only been home testing for a year using the Raytel service and like Dennis I've had little or no problems using them. There are a couple of caveats though, my medical insurance pays for this service (I only make $15 co-payments) and my cardiologist highly recommended doing the home...

I can easily sympathize with you, I had my St. Jude only 15 months ago but I usually only hear it from time to time when I'm having trouble trying to sleep. Like you my ticking sound is from an internal direction. Sometimes if I change positions the sound changes or goes away, but sometime it...

Don't Forget The Surgeon Don't Forget The Surgeon Being this is my first posting I would like to add that you should also consider the surgeon you will be using and find out their preferences/experience level with the type of valve you want. You really can?t go wrong with either valve...
