It's been 3 weeks since surgery and I've been home 2 weeks today. Every day gets a little easier but my vision is still bothering me when I try to read or write. They can't get my INR where they want it. It's still at a 1 after doubling my... Read more.

Nice to hear an update from you Vicki. I'm glad you are home and on the road of recovery. I am just a couple days ahead of you in post-op and know all too well about the bumps. They also are struggling to get my INR to where they'd like... Read more.

Hi Vicki, very sorry to hear the complications, but praying you are on a positive improvement from now moving forward.
I pray that the rest of your recovery will be peaceful.
Wow! Sorry Vicki...I too have a brain full of strokes...must run in our Jan 9 club....hope your recovery is better from now on. Sending hugs.
Vicki, really sorry to hear about your complication but good to know you can push beyond. We always have to believe that we did what we thought was best at the time. Got you and your recovery in my thoughts now.

Prayers for you!
