Aortal Valve Replacement - Day 19

Hm.. Didn't know what happened to the old guy. They had him CT scanned, and transferred around lunch. Another old man took his place. As for me, they doubled my dosage of d heartrate lowering med in hopes of further decrease. The change is only a little so far. I think my sleeping heartrate is now 70-80 bpm. Active heartrate still around 80-100 bpm. Been walking 800 meters, and d 5 flights. Nurse gave me a more comprehensive warfarin listing. More common food needs to be limited, including carrots, asparagus, and garlic. Generally, normal small amounts is ok, just not as main diet. There are some super-high Vit.K foods that i don't know yet. Will need to translate more food names later. Still don't know if i can take my usual Enervon tablets.
