I'm probally on such a high dose of warifin because I have two mechanical valves. I was on 5mg at first then over time went to 7.5 and know on 10mg. Still have a roller coaster INR at times.
Ross, did'nt know you have gone through so much either.Wow two lung surgerys that more then I could probally take.
It was indeed a very hard one with just the one. To me it was worse then the heart surgery at least I was ready for that one.
They tried to patch my lung but did'nt work so they had to air lift me to another hospital. I almost bleed to death. Then they sent me home when things were not right . Then I start bleed out of the incisions because my INR was 12.0.
Then they found out I had kidney problems so had to be treated for that.
I was a miracle to even be pulled out of all that.
I feel better everyday and want to start back to cardio rehab next month.
When did you have all your problems with you lungs?
They say mine was probally from the radition I had when I was 20 years of age.
20+ years later.
Tell me your story sometime... It helps me to talk about things and talk to people that have gone through some of the same. Like all of you on vr forum.
Thanks for that!!!
