Prayers to you and your brothers. Speedy recovery.

Have asked about lifting heavy(relative to body type) and been given the OK at more than 1 Doctor appt. Will watch this thread. Not the muscular body type but still surprise some of the young guys at the gym.

Hope all is going well for you today.

I have a mechanical valve for almost 4 years. Dr. wanted me to have it even at 58. I was OK with that because my father has had one since 1985. I had trouble getting evened out with dosage because the people I was dealing with had NO idea what they were doing. That problem was solved at...

Dose to your diet not the other way around. My INR does move around and when it gets to the lower level 2.5 I watch the greens a little. When it is up towards the top 3.5 I go after the greens. With this diet and exercise I have been within range for 5 months. The first time since my...

YES!! lol

Congrats. Looking forward in my opinion is the best way. I think it made me stronger faster. Just remember to listen to your body and don't over do it.

When I wanted home testing I went to the doctor. They arranged it thru MD INR and my insurance. It goes thru my major medical so after deductible I pay just under $10 a month. I test once a week. When I need more strips just a phone call away. They are charging the insurance a great deal...

I kind of look at it like the people that live next to the train tracks. Everyone asks them if the train bothers them and they say no never hear them. I think you get used to the sound and pretty soon it is gone. Still there but not noticed.

Hang in there. Hope all is OK now. And by the way NO lifting. I was told not to lift more than a plate full of food.
