I am getting an operation in januari, they are going to saw in  my sheekbone
to give me a good profile and a proper bite. I'm having a st.Jude aortic valve
and a aortic graaft because I had an aneurisma 5 jears ago. In oktober i went
also for this operation, but they did'nt operate because my I.N.R was to high.
(1.9) that is what the dokter said. My heartspecilist said that the dokter could operate
, that was no problem so there was an argument between the two. The dokter who's gonne
operate told me that he needs an protrombine-time of 60%, he did'nt now about
I.N.R. Can you tellme what I.N.R. 60% P.T.is. Am I gonne survive this? Thank you dokter!
