    Different strokes...

    Interesting hearing about the double-vision experiences. What I'm about to say is not heart or stroke related but allows me to identify with the discomfort you folks are mentioning. Double-vision is not fun at all and can be rather frightening! I was just at the eye Dr last week. Had that...

    Coaguchek XS - HOW do you change the date FORMAT (to MM/DD/YY)???????

    You want to really make your brain hurt pick up the original album of this Python release: That was the album with "three" sides. IIRC Side 1 and Side 2 were both labeled as "Side 2". One of the Side twos actually had two different sets of concentric grooves cut in it, so that different...

    Surgery scheduled in two weeks

    Good question. Has been almost 10 years since my operation so am fuzzy on some of the details. Am pretty sure I was talking about this up here back then but can't remember exactly where. I don't want to bum you out but I'm going to say that I think it took me at least a month to get a good...

    Surgery scheduled in two weeks

    Yeah I wish I had a recliner when I got out of the hospital. Sleeping in bed was torture. Even with a mountain of pillows all over the place. Was in the process of researching renting a hospital bed when things healed enough to get through things as they were. Looking back though don't even...

    Coaguchek XS - HOW do you change the date FORMAT (to MM/DD/YY)???????

    I actually didn't watch the vid but your words unlocked the mystery! P.S. My correction above may be wrong though, might have had it right in the first place...

    Coaguchek XS - HOW do you change the date FORMAT (to MM/DD/YY)???????

    P.S. To indicate how confused I was/get this sentence I typed above: "I'm thinking now when I went to set the date in the first place I must have pressed M when I should have pressed SET thus changed it to DD-MM-YY etc.....MY BRAIN HURTS!!!!." SHOULD have said: "I'm thinking now when I went...

    New member - choosing a valve

    I actually get a kick out of listening to them. Sounds like they are all laughing at each other (or watching a very funny movie). In actual truth it is probably some bug orgy sex noise that I don't want to know about!!

    Inspiris Resilia vs On-x, can't decide

    I'm still waiting for the day that medicine enters the Star Trek phase and your Dr. McCoy can just wave a mini-police siren like thing he holds in his hand above your chest and thus "fix" your heart valve (or whatever else might be wrong). Of course with that type of technology available and my...

    Coaguchek XS - HOW do you change the date FORMAT (to MM/DD/YY)???????

    I tried that but it doesn't seem like it works. It is just confusing the hell out of me. WAIT!!!! Yer a genius. It worked! THX!! One of the things that confused me was that for that date format cycling it shows the numbers as 12-31-00 or 31-12-00 REGARDLESS of what you might have already...

    Coaguchek XS - HOW do you change the date FORMAT (to MM/DD/YY)???????

    I just noticed that the Coaguchek XS meter I bought last year has the date format "wrong". Or at least such that it confuses the hell out of me. Instead of USA month/day/year (MM/DD/YY) it is in format of day/month/year (DD/MM/YY) which I think is for Europe/UK??? I'm not sure if it somehow...

    New member - choosing a valve

    Hmmm, makes me wonder. Around here in the summertime those things (or something like them) are in the trees and are SOOOO LOUD it's insane (since there's like a hundred thousand per tree). Can you imagine? 100,000 bugs in each tree and all of them with tiny artificial heart valves!! Does...
