    Ice Hockey w/ mech valve / warfarin

    LONG TIME since being on here. Little bit of an update.

    Ice Hockey w/ mech valve / warfarin

    It has been 3.2-3.7 as of late, I go tomorrow morning for the first time in 2 weeks. It's been stable so they gave me a 2 week window this time, and if it's good again, it'll probably be 2 weeks again, then once a month. I'd like it closer to 3.0 though. you?

    Ice Hockey w/ mech valve / warfarin

    Yeah, it was a big time emergency and I didn't have a choice. I'm still doing great post op, 3 month check showed great healing and no concerns. I'm back to the ice coaching only, and also on the bench coaching. I'm doing off ice officiating as a supervisor of officials in IIHF events, but i'm...

    Hello guys, I just got my mechanical valve and route replacement about 6 weeks ago after a VERY emergency procedure in Abu Dhabi. I was misdiagnosed for 12 hours having had a major dissection, then through some amazing connections and grace, I was saved with a 10% chance of survival after a...
