Goodbye Everyone

I was assuming I could get off a few meds. Nope, they are gonna add more, all heart meds are for life.

If you have AF, be a little wary about the new anticoagulants. My own lawyer, who was my patient, had a mitral valve replacement, and chose to swap to one of the new anticoagulants (Pradax) simply so he would not have to have an INR once a month and have me call him to adjust his warfarin dose. He enjoyed that convenience for 18 months before he had a massive stroke and died. What a waste.

Dogberry, is that anecdote borne out by results of the clinical trials that supported FDA licensure of Pradax? Did they even compare the trial drug to an alternative standard of care?

thanks for the heads up. I see the Surgeon tomorrow, all testing done, including CT Scan of heart with and without contrast completed today,

sooo, he sees results, hop, skip and jump over here, what do he and I think .....happens tomorrow sometime.

Actually Pradax is contraindicated in patients with AF, per an FDA directive. It’s written into the package insert. Just looked it up.

@elliottbnewcombjr ...."Who raised these people?" *ROTFLMAO*

The same amateurs that raised us....no concept, no clue, just the relations demanding they procreate to ensure they suffer the same bs and relative happiness they could dredge out of the process...*the emoji doesn't exist*

Spouse and self opted 'out'....otherwise, this mssg. wouldn't occur... ;)

Heart drugs:  Yes, we and you are doomed to gobble small>large 'stuff', none of any entertainment value other than keeping your keel pointed down.

It IS a life....yours.  We....you, me, the lurking lookie-lou's. the naysays can say 'Nonono...'. BUT

Beats the alt., for the time being.....

"...you are a worn out hoot! makes me feel like a teenager."

Well, good....*ironic S* 

I find it 'difficult' to be among my 'peers'.....when the subject is kids/grandk's, all I can respond with is what I do to amuse self....other than 'fire control' at the business spouse and self 'do' to maintain the 'strife-style' we prefer....

OK...cut to the 'feel-good', beyond the chase scene....

You Are Not Allowed to Die 'Here".

Stop.

At my brothers' funeral....when asked of the gathering:

Anything to say about...?

"He was a PIA...but, he was my brother."

Anyone who REALLY knew us....could 'relate'.

Anyone else?

Your call.

...........................

No one here has the slightest idea. nor clue....of what  makes asvjerry 'tick'...

....nor, that of which 'ticks' me off.

Nor, I of you....

It's all too thin....;(
