I used the same but I do have an apple which made it very easy. I am now just doing it on my own with my own supplies and just phoning the results into the anticoagulant clinic. My insurance company has a high deductible. I couldn't afford the $164 per month so just now just have to buy...

I had my aortic valve replaced March 9. First time I have felt good in years! No shortness of breath....lost 25 lbs and felt great. Last week I was a little short of breath after walking up the stairs to my church. Figured it was just me getting back into shape. Fast forward to Monday...

I had a stroke and repetitive noises drive me insane... I was so worried about my mechanical valve but it is quiet. Even if you lay your head on my chest you don't hear it ticking. Had my surgery 3/9/16

I am getting the Roche coaguchek xs directly from Roche. I will have to monitor every two weeks but I will own the machine and the test strips are cheaper than alere. I will be using the mPoc app

I had a stroke at 57 with the clot buster that didn't work. I was in the er within 30 minutes of my stroke. It was before my valve replacement. It is a tough recovery but it can be done. I still have a little weakness in my right arm, very slight drooping to my right side of my face and...

I have a mechanical valve, CarboMedics 21-mm valve, and you wouldn't hear it. I am blessed that I can't hear it as repetitive noises since my stroke about put me over the edge. My husband can't hear it when he tries putting his head on my chest. Aortic valve replaced 3/9/16

I am going to a video/consultation tomorrow. And scheduled for a mechanical valve on March 9 at 7:30 Scared of stroking not so much of dying..... I am a stroke survivor from 1/7/2014

I am very sorry... the retinal migraines were the first symptom I had of my stroke. Flashing in my left eye, a year later I stroked. Lost the use of my left hand, couldn't talk and now two years later, I am a little choppy with my speech, a little weakness in my hand but all in all I am fine...

I too am scared to death... mostly because I am a stroke survivor and I never want another one. I am scheduled for surgery March 9. My ascending aorta is 4.1 but my bav has critical stenosis. I went and bought a couple of new shirts with zippers and a couple of sport bras with zippers too...

Congratulations!!! I am scheduled for valve replacement 3/9/16

JulienDu, I guess I have not. I took all my medicines along and he told me to stop the plavix on 3/2 I will send a message to him. Warwick, yes that is the plan unless he sees something more after he views the aorta. I have to say my biggest concern is my previous stroke and the higher...
