Valve replacement, Surgery, and coumadin mailing list

by Hank Eyring, Oct 04, 1999 12:00AM
Hello There,

I am posting this message to this list to let everyone know about a list that myself and several other Aortic Valve Replacement patients have going.

I am a 33 year old male who had aortic valve replacement surgery in April of 1999.  I often had questions about stuff like what do other people’s spouses think about their valves clicking, to how do the kids deal with Dad having major surgery.  Also issues about what is involved in approaching surgery, going through surgery and recovering from surgery. We also discuss the use of coumadin since most of us have to take it for the rest of our lives.

If you would like to join a mailing list along with folks who have been through this kind of stuff before and are facing it in the future, just go to the following URL and sign up.

You will find much help with this list and we all learn from each other.

Hope you can join us,

Hank Eyring

My 2-year granddaughter had mitral valve replacement (artificial) August, '98. Would your mailings be of benefit to parents of children with valve replacement taking coumadin?
