You can never have enough...

The thing I hate about medications is the interactions.

With being on Warfarin it severally limits you to what you can taker pain med wise.. Mind you it also depends on what your Dr thinks too.

No antiinflammes... no ibuprofen or anything containing it. Not really meant to use anything like voltaren gel etc.

I remember when I ended up back in hospital with pain my cardiologist came to see me. And promptly gently told me off for not seeking stronger pain meds. hence being given the Oxycodone or Oxynorm so freely.

If I had known when I needed my valve replaced that they were in the process of being able to do valve replacement via the groin I would have hung on and offered to be a guinea pig. Like MrP was for his metal and Beef valve replacement.
Thus avoiding the warfarin and the limits when it comes to pain med. Especially with arthritis and not having enough cartilage in my spine.

But the only way for it to be Undone is to have another open heart surgery to have it removed.. And that's not something I want to go through again lol it took 3 times to get it right the first time lol

But I am here, and have to accept my lot.. And juggle things... Im just thankful I'm not a man cos Im sure the pain has to be worse lol hahahaha
