And how is it going with the Watchman device? I'm seriously considering it as I also have some knee arthritis and they tell me to take it easy with anti inflammatory medicine. I don't see a reason not to get the Watchman....

Be sure to Google the Watchman device before you proceed. Also, it appears you will have to take a daily aspirin after the procedure. Admittedly, I am a little concerned about the implantation. Any mistakes during the procedure could be problematic. Also, I can’t take a daily aspirin. It makes me bleed out my nose.
Hope everything works out for you.

Then DO what I just did. Google the negative effects of Watchman.
Recovery process includes: Bleeding, temperature changes and swelling around catheter insertion site. Dizziness or fainting, excessive sweating, fever or chills, nausea or vomiting.

Risks that they SAY are rare. )said the same about the vax, so YOU decide) Don't believe just the people making money from it!
Blood clots, infection, fluid buildup around the heart, stroke!!!

You don't see a reason? Did you investigate? After reading the possible reasons, now you can decide.
