I had a follow-up today with the heart surgeon---and in his words---"you have graduated"
I am off warfirin and will start Pravix tomorrow for 6 months and then I'm good to go with just a baby aspirin.
To celebrate my graduation I stopped at the store on the way home and got a BIG bag of spinach and an even bigger bag of collard greens. I put a pot of my "green soup" on as soon as I got home
Having to manage the warfirin, which forced me to drop greens from my diet was truly a quality of life issue. I knew it would end and so I managed to practice restraint---but I am glad it is over.
As for my stepper---I will do 1600 today--besting my previous high of 1500
Added in edit----make that 2000!
