Popular Post Ronn W Posted April 13, 2024 Popular Post Report Posted April 13, 2024 I am out of hospital in one day with an implant to reducin chances of strokedue to Afib and never have to use blod thinners again. l Last January, while on warfarin, I pulled a couple of groin muscles. 2 Days later I as in the ICU with significant bleeding and femeral nerve damage from the bleeding in my legs. I have mostly recovered from that (after 3 months) and told my doctor that I was not taking warfarin any more. I asked about the Watchman implant and he agreed that I was a good candidate. You may have seen adds on TV. Well, its done. It's only been a day but I have no discomfort - none. Just have to take it easy for a couple of weeks and let my body do the rest. Here is a short video. Really interesting technology. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=watchman+imiplant&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1f33kyMh9rM 8 Quote
Mark J Posted April 13, 2024 Report Posted April 13, 2024 Glad you're recovering. Yeah, non of the anticoagulants is totally benign. Especially if you like to spend time around freshly sharpened blades of various types. 1 Quote

Popular Post drzaius Posted April 15, 2024 Popular Post Report Posted April 15, 2024 Glad you got that looked after. I have 2 brothers with a-fib that has affected their health. One of them had a stroke while driving down the freeway one day. Another driver called the cops because his car was weaving all across the road. He somehow made it to an off ramp when they found him stopped half off the road. He has largely recovered, but it was sure a scary thing. 3 1 Quote
