I don't know what Brillinta is for that LJ had.

Will she be on blood thinner for awhile?

Brillinta is a very specialized blood thinner for people that have suffered a heart attack and had stents placed. No need for regular blood tests to see if your blood is too thick or to thin like with rat poison warfarin . It was invented in cahoots with the stent makers and you have to take it twice a day for twelve months.

Update. We rode 18.3 miles together on the tandem. It's her first bike ride since the heart attack. The cardiac rehab people said that she could go 15 miles so we cheated a little. She's been walking almost daily to get in about 77,000 steps a week.

How long after she got out of the hospital was it before she started cardiac rehab? They waited with me until I got out of that stupid Life Vest. When I went in for my follow up visit and they found out I had been riding my bike they said I didn’t need cardiac rehab. I was doing good until I started chemo.

About 3 weeks. She has 10 more sessions.
