Thanks. Gotta go back in 6 months instead of the year I was hoping for.

Seems there has been an increase in the pressure gradient, which I take to mean back pressure, in my new valve. Pre surgery it was 60. After surgery it was 12, nice drop, which is what you'd expect considering the narrowing of the old valve and the free flowing nature of the replacement. Well, the pressure gradient this morning tested at 20, so it's up from a year ago. According to my cardiologist, it could be for a couple of reasons. The best one being that my heart is simply stronger now than right after the surgery and is just pumping more blood. Also, the new valve can take some time to "settle" and shift a bit, just like a new apparently, and this could just be my new normal. Worst case is a build up of blood clotting on the new valve leaflets which are restricting blood flow. A new echocardiogram in 6 months should clear up the situation. If it's still in the ~20 range, then it's my new normal and I can for a while. If it progresses to, say, 30 or so, then the clotting issue will need to be addressed. Likely with coumadin.

Brush up on your hurricane preparedness.

Brush up on your hurricane preparedness.

1. Generator
2. Week’s worth of non perishables, water, etc.
3. Shutters/insurance/etc
4. “Go bag” batteries, weather radio, pocket knife, first aid kit, etc etc
5. BBQ/grille
6. Alcohol
7. Hurricane proof lawn chairs so you can sit outside and bbq/grille while boozing during the Hurricane

Did they die in a plane crash?

No I sold them for a set of wheels which I then sold for the OEM’s that came on my GTI

Here's hoping it's just the new normal. Being on anti-coagulants would be no fun IMO.

Had to be on coumadin for 3 months after the surgery. Those weekly finger stabs to check blood thinness, frequent dosage changes because my blood got so thin it caused bloody was not fun.

Saw my first mask karen at Costco. She was giving the manager a bunch of shit over being asked by the employee at the entrance to wear the mask. I chuckled but let the off duty cop working the store outside that he might get called over a Karen throwing a fit about the mask. He kinda laughed and said thanks for the heads up.

First real display of bitching about masks I’ve seen in public.
