Well, life A.V. (After Valve) appears to be normalizing and going well. I am home-checking my INR (the number on a blood test that determins if I have sufficient anti-coagulant in my bloodstream to keep any clots from forming on the valve), and that is going well so far. Still have a little cough. There's a sore spot in my lower back from coughing....the doc says it's just muscle strain from the cough. I am going to sleep sitting up, but waking up slid-down in the bed. Still not really comfortable to sleep laying down or on my side.
People have been wonderfully, amazingly generous with rides, time, checking in, etc. I keep thinking of the "village" concept - the care of so many others who have thought, prayed, helped, checked in through all of this. It makes me feel incredibly loved; after something that I really didn't want to "bother" people with.
It's hard to not think of all of this in the moments that I hear that little ticking sound....
I should be good for another 500,000 miles....
