6 years

[Juli]

Almost forgot about it and compared to many other members 6 years is small - feel like a rookie. But for me it is important and reminds me how grateful I am that I don‘t even remember. Maybe it was the 24 miles bikeride I did tonight that somehow reminded me. Valve keeps clicking, taking my meds like clockwork and otherwise life goes on.

Also thank you for this forum that gave me a lot of help and still provides a lot of valuable information.

Congratulations, Juli! You deserve it as much as anyone. Here's to many more years.

Well done Juli! Congratulations!

Great to hear that you are being very physically active! So much for the myth that you can't be active, such as going on bike rides, while on warfarin.

Here is to many many more years!

Congrats on your six years with your valve. Whether it's 6, 30 or 60 years our anniversaries are BIG deals and important to help the "new folks" accept that there are many years of a normal life ahead of them.

Almost forgot about it

really there is no better state to be in about your valve and the circumstances that led to you needing a (surgical) replumb of the valve.

Just don't forget your pills ;-)

Its tomorrow that counts, not yesterday

Best Wishes and good luck on the rest of the journey.
