    Help post surgery

    I THINK THAT I have perhaps a better idea about those jars and bottles, perhaps get them opened pre-surgery, and for heavens sake dont over tighten them, and you will be fine, again. Make sure you dont eat any spoiled food of course, I would also perhaps precook some food you like to eat, then...

    9 Questions for Those with BioProsthetic (Tissue) Valves

    Your awesome, and it is wild how they choose research to and to not do! Then publish something most us cannot read cause of lack of education, etc. It was my understanding that doing cardio was a big plus, now I have to worrying about perhaps doing, too much cardio. And how much is, too much. My...

    eBay issue -- June 2023

    Thank you oh so much for that, this is why, and or in part WHY this place is here. to share things like this, I have and have been using a MACHINE XS I believe it is, for about 2 years now, and also buy strips and lancets with no problems. And like do many before me, had to figure out which...

    Anybody else's doctors refusing to provide copies of test results?

    WOW, and they thought that they would get away with doing this to you? It may or may not be HIPPA, but it a law in the USA, State or federal, not sure but doesnt matter really! This is so awful that its almost like taking a car in and paying for tests, and not having the results for the person...

    Officially done with CoagSense

    And I would add to that, the way things are currently, in the USA we have more choice then alot of places in the world to get all sorts of things! And I do not need to add, I think, when it comes to items like this, and that it has a large impact on your health in more ways then one, it makes me...

    Officially done with CoagSense

    WOW, and here I am thinking, that is until your last few comments, that both machines were made by the same company, when they are not! The machine i bought on Ebay new, a few years back is a Coaguchek and so far I am very happy with it. It never seems to be exact what the VA Hosp test comes up...

    New, confused, scared, anxious, help

If TMVR is your...

    changes in INR within a week.

    YES, in part true, in part not so true. the way you put it was, i think, that you threw the baby away with the bath water! it is not always a matter of respect in the case of to block or not to block someone! FACT is, some people just dont play nice together, for whatever reason, this is true...

    Early 30s, 3 strokes over 7 years of On-X

    NP with the training of the AI, only thing ya need is the data/info you need it trained in, hmmm, to be in digital form, than ya only need to feed it to the AI, and it is instant, well depends on how large the file is that is being used to train the AI! If it is a few thousand ZIGABYTES, than it...

    Another food (well I don't think of it as a food) to avoid (it seems)

    WOW, and another thing so far as I can tell, was talking to those very informed at the VA and discussing my INR test/results! I was informed that the THC I use does in fact effect the IRN/WARFARIN thingy! Well I have been on both for some time now, at least months if not years, and with no...

    Early 30s, 3 strokes over 7 years of On-X

    You bring up a very good point, it being about AI and what role it may and/or may not play in dealing with, what we all here are now dealing with, and those in the future, and what choices they will have, perhaps that we did not have! I think that AI will have a huge impact on all of us, one...

    Best INR & warfarin dosing app

    I think the reminder that I use is perhaps ole school, although for the most part it works awesome, it is a calendar. I mark down when i take my meds, vitamins, etc. and it is done, I also use something else to make it KISS, I use those snap pill holders. The one i currently own is awesome, it...
