Just an update for those of you who may be reading this later. The being cold all the time has passed and the night sweats seem to be getting better.

Luckily my experience was pretty good. Hospitals and medical staff are very hot or miss here though. Luckily my inr was 2.5 when I left and I have a home nurse coming twice a week to measure it. And as far as getting out in 3/4 days they asked if I felt comfortable to go home. If not I could...

Yeah definitely will do. Honestly it's crazy that although I'm sore. My heart itself feels better than it did last week. Doesn't feel like it's freaking out all the time now.

Okay they sent me home pretty early mostly because I've had no problems being mobile. Walkings been good. Even took a walk around my block this morning. But I'll keep monitoring my vitals just in case. I'm sure the 7 new meds they gave me don't help my body be less confused 😂

Really it's anytime I sleep. Even if I take a nap.

I've been sweating a lot at night. I think it might be from the tylonal though.

Hello. I had a mechanical avr done on Friday and I've been cold ever since. I was released from the hospital yesterday which was great. My vitals have been normal and I feel relatively okay. Obviously I'm very sore and tired. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure if it's the medicine or...

I hope your surgery goes well or went well. Just took my first walk today. Definitely sore but glad it's over with.

Awesome. Good to know. My Dr seems pretty happy with the results from them and their studies. But I'll try my best not to get food poisoning 😉

Spoke with the surgeon again today. My surgery is Friday morning. CT scan came back and it looks like my roots should be intact. He'll get a better view inside but, we determined I'm going to be getting the on-x valve. He said he's done them before and likes their results and although I may not...

I'm not either so I'm not sure. He made it seem like the homograft has more tissue attached so they have more to work with vice a mechanical with the synthetic tissue tubing.

Spoke with my surgeon today. We both came to the conclusion that the Ross procedure may not be the best option. Mainly due to the two valve problem But we are still undecided on homograft vs mechanical. I asked him what he'd do in my shoes and he didn't have an answer. He's going to do some...

Thank you for this information. I do find that wild that people wouldn't take their medication serious. But it does make me feel better to know. I would definitely be resting at home. And ensuring my medication is taken properly.

I haven't written it off. I may decide to go with a different hospital though but that's for personal reasons. Mainly the stats look better at the other one. I appreciate you helping out and clearing some things up. I can live without grapefruit juice. I like it but can't remember the last time...

Well I'd say statistically the most likely way I would die would be in a car crash and warfarin makes those odds go up. Id be restricted on what I can do, no alcohol, no tattoos, no cranberry or grapefruit juice or green tea, no thc, antibiotics before any procedure, I'd have to change my...
