6 month post-op report

[ar bee]

dear co-valvers

an update on how things have developed:

first and foremost - especially to those who are in the waiting room - I'm very lucky: things thus far went very smooth

==> I'm back to the life pre-sugery. I work full time, travel on business (sometimes to quite exotic places), play golf, go to gym, play beach volley ball, will most likely be a father next March and can enjoy the finer things of life (.....)

Not all is sugar and sweet:
INR is a bit of a roller coaster (1.6 -4.1), but now stable for the past 4 weeks.
For the past two month, there are some skipped heart beats. Emotionally very uncomfortable, but according to the Cardio still within tollerance levels.

I have posted some 'work-out' data on the 'active lifestyle forum'

Cool Beans! So is this father thing confirmed? If so, congratulations!

You sound like the rest of us. We have the INR rollercoasters and the mood shifting thing too. I'd say your normal by our definitions.

It's always reassuring to read a post like yours; thanks for sharing it with those of us who aren't as far along in recovery as you are.
