on our way

on our way

just a quick post- to update.
the docs screwed up things to unbelievable proportions
today, but here is what got done. 4 teeth extracted.....all v's inr and pt and ptt levels were perfect.....inr (or pt?- cant believe i am this tired) was 2.6!!!!!! anyway, got chest x-ray and supposed to have had 2 more tests, but that also got screwed. so, 3 tests tomorrow. he is asleep now and i am about to be. "they" originally had his valve replacement scheduled for this friday!!!! HA!!!!! we caught his card in the hallway and he said "nawwww not for a couple more weeks, you still have too many tests to do!!!!"
victor did quit his job today and i'm glad. he doesn't need the stress and he can always go back if he wants, later on.
my hep is kickin in big time-that's real- not good. so i gotta get to a doc about that.
oh!!!! don't remember if i said or not (and too tired to go back and read) but he did quit smoking alltogether!!!! i'm so happy for him!!!!!!!
thanks to all of you for helping and caring. my good health prayers go out to all of you.
take care, more soon,

If all this testing is going on, am I to assume that the Valve Replacement is going to be a go? I know what you said a couple of replies back, but it certainly sounds like this is what's happening, otherwise, why all the testing?

MORNIN'!

MORNIN'!

the reason for all the testing is so we can get information and actually get some work done on victor. at the end of it all (and there's a lot) we will decide how to procede. the docs do say it is a risky thing either way. very risky. victor seems to be having a change of heart ( pardon pun) and may decide on the surgery. we'll have to wait and see when the time comes.

gotta run back to the v.a. now, so i'll be back here later or tomorrow.
whew!!!! feel like i'm in a marrathon!!!
