Hello everyone!!!!,
Its ben awhile since I posted but I have been very busy with my family . I spent the last few weeks reflecting and getting myself ready to go back to work. I am able to return to work and I must say Im ready. lol.. Saw my cardio today and got an echo, first one since the surgery. It was awesome, everything working as it should be, and very strong. For once I have a health heart:). He did change my blood pressure meds as the lopresser not working great till alittle high. 140/85. Still working on that. INR level a little high this week 3.4. So these 2 things is what I an dealing with now. I will be returning back to reality soon so I may not be on the site for awhile but I want to thank everyone for getting Jacki and I through this. Your kind words and prayers will never be forgotten.

Tomorrow is five weeks since my surgery. Feeling better every week. I see Dr. Bavaria on Sept 7. Getting kids ready to go back to school. I see all that Jacki does for them and cant believe she has the energy to take care of me too. I love her she has been my rock through this whole process and could not have done it without her.

Went to my doc for a check up today. Boy that wore me out. He was very happy with my progress. He lowered my lopresser to 25 mil because by pressures been low. Also called my cardio just to make sure that was ok and he agreed. I just worry that so far everything is good I hope it continues. As for pain I only need my pain meds at night due to being so stiff in the am, that seems to help that. I see my cardio on Monday morning so I will update soon.
Doc had my INR levels checked today, very low 1.3. Up my dose of bloodthiners and hoping for the levels to go up. Having a bad day with lower back pain. Hope ...Read more
