Aortal Valve Replacement - Day 21

It would seem i will need to stay here for a few more days due to my high warfarin requirement. (・ω・;) Doctor said that around 4 tablets is d norm. I still took 7 tablets last night. Oh well, will just wait and see. On a positive note, my weight has stabilized at 63.2-63.7 kg. I never thought its possible to get nearly the same value day after day after day! Amazing. Controlling salt intake really does work. Yesterday, they tested my leg strength among other things. It would seem i need more leg exercises. My legs are 50% weaker than the average in my age group! Well, no surprise there. (`o'ヾ Been getting a lot of reminders and cautions from d nurses in prep for my discharge. I'm getting scared of the outside world because of those. Sounds like daily life is a dangerous and scary place. Hahaha. Ha. (¬_¬)ぁゃιぃ Will need to buy blood pressure and heart rate measurement device and a weighing scale when i get out, so that i can properly keep records. I just wish they invented some portable device to measure the salt content of food. That would be cool! As it is, i only have a jap food guide. 1 bowl of ramen already exceeds my daily salt limit by 25%. And a Tenya Tendon tempura bowl is only a bit below my limit. And that's jap food! Eating Filipino dishes would be... catastrophic. (´〜`) Its definitely d start of a healthier, albeit controlled, lifestyle.
