you should all know that adjusting your valves only takes about an hour and a half and your motor will run so much better for it.

Question is- will they have to do any tune ups after?

That's hysterical because its almost the same time no matter which one we are talking about. And provide I run the proper fule and keep up on reg maint I should expect a 50 year running life if not longer.

So looks like all is going smoothly and my body is strong. Last night I made it through the night without pain killers. I felt ok and though I could manage without them but they told me to take them anyway so I have no discomfort. So ok twist my arm I guess lol.

So the downside of my body being stronger then most is its taking longer to get my INR level up because my body is absorbing everything the toss at it well. I think currently its around 1.65 and before they will let me go it needs to be over 2. That and I have to poop which should happen today now that I'm getting some real food in me. So now it's just the waiting game till I reach the number. To day I have 3 walks scheduled and a shower so big day.

Thank you all for your support really shows that SJVWC is more of a Fam then a club. I will keep you all posted but till I'm discharged think its going to be passing some time in the hospital room.

I'm sure you'll be hitting that 2.0 mark soon.    I always hated that they monitor that bodily function so closely after surgery...   12blush

So glad you're feeling better, Ty.  We've all been very concerned about you.
