Easy Life On Warfarin - St Jude Mechanical Valve

Easy to live with warfarin once you get your INR settled..the alternative is not so attractive!! IThe best advice is to accept it and work with it, not against it, and hav a doctor you trust. I now have my bloods done monthly which is gr8 after all the weekly tests..not a big deal..I hav a St Jude INR testing machine at home, its just like a blood test machine my mum has for her diabetes, I can use it to monitor my INR but choose to go to the blood collection agency ..thats my choice..before my op I loved a few drinks, take away, and smokes etc.. but after mitral valve replacement am happy to be alive with warfarin as my only medication..get to live and see my children & grandchildren every day..how blessed.
