Roll out the drums My checkup went great..... Echo made 3 weeks ago showed my Aorta had shrunk My St. Jude's was on a perfect beat...Said not to come back for 6 months and no Echo for another year. Saw my Clinical Nurse, cute little Ashley and she said How do you like that Protime and I said..I LOVE IT> She said just call me whenever you want to..for my INR. (Best to let her know at least every 3-4 weeks)Life IS good..HANG in there, Bill, Ross, Scottie, Travler, and all you other under 6 months post op..You will feel as good as me soon. Bonnie
