MAde it home today.
7 days in, one AVR and one pacer.

A crazy ordeal, but I feel pretty good right now. No complications, glad to be in my own bed. They wanted to keep me another day, but I was able to get them to release me with some lovenox doses until I get my INR level up.

Point of interest: My aortic valve ended up being a mono-cuspid. Doc said he's seen maybe half a dozen of them in 30 years. Fortunately it opened in such a way that the aortic root was completely normal and didn't need replacement. Unfortunately it calcified so badly it was blocking my electricals and I had to get a pace maker put in.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. It's good to be on this side. :thumbs up:

Welcome home Wade! Now rest, eat, and sleep until you can add walking. And then get out and enjoy these nice spring days with a few walks around your neighborhood.
Oh, and welcome to the club.

Welcome home Wade, We also talked the doctor in sending us home with lovenox shots. After 3 days his INR was at the normal level and he was able to come off the shots. I was giving them to him so I think he was glad that was over. Rest,Breathe,Walk.
