Hi All,
Some of you will remember me. I had my aortic valve changed for a second time on 26/11/10, so this posting is a wee bit late, sorry...but all is going well. I've had issues ever since my surgery with my thumping heart, dizzinness and high blood pressure but things are getting a lot better now. Everything is settling down. I've reduced my blood pressure down to the absolute minimum dose so I hope to come off it altogether soon. I'm still doing karate and playing in a field hockey team and doing plenty of aerobic exercise down the gym. I get the odd ectopic beat, that's all, and I'm maintaining my INR at around 2.0 through home testing as I have an On-X valve. Hopefully this valve will last me a life time as per their design. Take care everyone.
