Back to the hospital tomorrow
I am finally going to have the Watchman inserted in my heart. If all goes well, I will be out of the hospital on Wednesday and back to work next week. Then in about 45 days I will be able to stop with the blood thinners and return to my normal diet---which currently is void of leafy greens--and even asparagus.
The biggest advantage is that I will not be in danger of another hemorrhage event
