Received my Medic Alert Bracelet

[Cameron]

Not sure if this is the right place for this.
I just received my Medic Alert bracelet with all the significant info on me:
MECHANICAL AORTIC VALVE
ANTICOAGULATED (Ross, you'll be glad they don't say "Blood Thinners'!)
TYPE 2 DIABETES
One more thing to scratch off on my "What can I do to feel more secure with my new medical situation and ACT"! Maybe a hint that getting one of these is a good idea should be posted as a sticky to encourage all the Newbies?

I'm glad someone takes a posative, proactive solutio to let the help know what they need to know. It's been 46 yrs & I have yet to follow suit.

I found a site that prints a free card with your medical info. It is supposed to go behind your license. I did it before I went to Florida last week just in case.

My Coumidin is only for 3 months (19 days to go) so I thought this would work for me.

Good for you, you never know just might come in handy one day, got mine like 2 weeks after OHS and it make me feel more secure I also got a wallet card with it.

Mine says

Mechanical aortic valve
Anticoagulated
Allergic to angiogram dye

Couldn't believe they were able to fit all that on a small bracelet.
