Hi Johnny ! Sorry to read that your wife is a long hauler. It must be so very hard to endure this stupid Covid virus for so long. .. I'm thinking that if it was me, I would probably get the vacc, discuss ablation further, and not be afraid of a pacemaker implant. All the best to both of you.

Bob had a brilliant mind and a kind soul. May he rest in peace.

Congrats ! Last October I had my 15 yr valversary.

Here in Ontario, Canada I am ordering 3 boxes with 6 strips in each, so that is 18 strips, for $157. A bit expensive, but my private insurance pays for all of it. I pay ZERO.

SB, best wishes and good luck with all your achievements this week. My big thrill is finally going for a dental cleaning tomorrow. It has been too long...last spring appt was canceled due to Covid lockdown. Previous fall appt was canceled due to hubby having emergency surgery. My teefs need...

Eva, I don't think that it will ruin your machine. The code chips are for quality control, checking expiry date, etc. 🥰🙂

Hi Eva, sorry to hear that you lost your code chip. I have just looked through my boxes and no chip with 403. I think my newest ones are already at code number 424. Hope you can still use your strips and figure something out. ((Hugs))

In a couple of weeks I will have my 15 year valversary. AVR on Oct. 11, 2005 .

Congrats on your valversary !

Sheza, I'm so bummed to see that you need another valve job. I know how resilient you are and wish you all the best. ((Hugs))

My experience with the Coaguchek XS is extensive. Living in Canada, I was able to buy the monitor in 2007 for the sale price of $ 500.00 It has been my best friend for the past 12 years and I couldn't imagine how many trips to the blood lab I would have made over the years had I not purchased...

Yes, my hubby had the lower hernia, lots of repair work for that one. Yours, being the upper smaller hernia, should be a breeze to fix up.

Coumadin--brand name---for me. Since 2005. Not expensive in Canada, $20 for 60 pills. And my insurance pays 80 %

Bob, hoping that you don't need another surgery, and hoping that you just have a mini-hernia, if any at all. Last September my hubby came home from work with a serious inguinal hernia, that required a big surgery and lengthy hospital stay. But he is now rocking a gorgeous 4 inch scar. Remember...

COAGUCHEK XS------here in Canada, we can get a doctor prescription and buy it outright. Also, my personal insurance covers the cost of the test strips at 80 %. I have been using it since 2007.

Bob, your INR readings are perfect and will fluctuate a bit weekly, nothing to worry about. Enjoy your cardiac rehab ! And keep eating healthy to keep up your immune system.

Duffey, Best wishes to Bob and you as his surgery proceeds tomorrow. Please keep me posted. We will share a similar challenge.....my husband is also post op. He had a big hernia surgery last Monday and is home recovering for the next 6 weeks.

I am so very glad to know that you are recovering well from your surgery. Remember--Chicks dig scars !
