Aortic Valve Replacement

[blewis]

Just had my 22 year anniversary with the replacement of my aortic valve with St. Judes first valve model. Other than the inconvience of taking blood thinner and having a monthly test life is a blessing.

Blood thinner? Blasphemy. It's anticoagulant here.

By chance, do you home test? If not, have you considered it?
