I'm four months post MIAVR and doing great. I'd like to start doing home INR testing, instead of going to the lab every week or two. I'd appreciate your experiences and opinions with the various devices, there are a number of options out there.

MVR on April 7, 2017. Finished my first week of full time schedule at work, and then gardening all day (with physical restrictions.) Tired but not in pain. To everyone in the community, hang in there and keep taking baby steps, they add up over time.
