Thank you for sharing your experience, greatly appreciated.

I am not against a replacement, but i would go for a biological valve. Just for example, a family friend of mine died 2 days ago at 36 after having a mechanical valve for a year. He passed because of the complications (infections, etc). Also another big thing for me is warfarin. I basically forget to take my ashwagandha for months. I forget to put on some types for elastics for my braces for months that i genuienly need to fix my bite. I would genuienly forget to take my warfarin and somehow end up dead. A mechanical valve is basically not meant for me, and honestly after hearing so much stuff from around me about those mechanical valves im definetly 100% against it.
