Feeling pretty sad . I'm 5 months post op mechanical valve and I went for a routine echo and found out my blood is not getting to my heart like it should and they have me scheduled for a cath .
Oh Debbie, my heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry there seems to be a complication. I know that feels discouraging. I hope the cath brings you the best news possible.
Debbie, I'm sorry to hear this. Thinking of you and hoping they figure out why.
Debbie, I'm sorry.. I'll be praying that all will turn out ok for you.. hopefully its just a small set back..

I'm doing great ! More energy and feeling great after Aorta replaced with mechanical valve and a root enlargement and also a unexpected by pass . Thank you Jesus I'm on the other side and doing great !!
Great news Debbie! Craig's surgery is tomorrow and he's getting the On-X valve. Any secrets to maintaining the INR level would be appreciated.
