Two months Cardio visit a success

[marciemarine]

I went to my cardiologist for a two month check after my double valve replacement and all went well. He said my valves are sound and have "set well" (I have mechanical valves). Also my lungs are clear and I don't have any fluid retention. The fluid retention was a big problem after my surgery. Then he surprised me by setting up my next appointment for June!
My blood pressure is good and my heart rate is steady. My family doctor is monitoring my coumadin. Right now I'm taking one MG. every other day and testing once a week. Marcie

Great report. Nothing like a good doctors visit. I had one today too but will post it on a separate thread.

Way to go, Marcie! A month ago, I was envying those of you on the board who'd had uneventful surgeries... now it's those who get reports like yours from their cardios.

Congrats!

Congratulations! I know you felt like celebrating after your appointment. What a great feeling to hear the good news.

Wow! 1 mg every other day? I think you are our lowest dosed person. I'm assuming with your dual valve replacement that your range is 3-4? What has your INR been running?
