Tomorrow is my first "valvaversary". I cannot believe that a yaer ago I was getting ready for a surgery that had me scared to death. Today I am doing much better and find that I have more stamina than I did a year ago.

I am working full time, hiking in the mountains, shooting competitive archery at a level that I did not think I would reach for some time. (I shot my first 500 this year), and fly fishing. While I still have some weight to loose (I gained some 40 lbs sitting on my a$$ for 6 months) I feel like I have improved 110%. I still have my concerns, although I probably shouldn't worry as much as I do, and I still obsess over the occasional irregular heart beat, but all in all I feel like I am doing much better and my INR has been out of range (by 0.1) only once this whole time. I feel like all of the cardioversions, ablations, and other nuisances are behind me at this point.

Thank you all so much for your support, guidance, advice and prayers.

Congratulations, sounds like you have had a tough go of it but have made great progress.

Such wonderful progress in this area of medicine has made for many of us a life beyond some heart problems. All has come in a very short time, too.

Best of luck and as many say "bless your heart"

Thank you all so much for your support, guidance, advice and prayers. You have made what would otherwise have been a hard journey, bearable. Thanks to all of you, the light at the end of the tunnel was both bright and reachable.

Out of range by 0.1? That my friend, is not out of range. That is merely a 100th of a second off.
