@abob I chose Watchman, because a recent MRI revealed that I have suffered several lacunar strokes,
and I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Watchman, will enable me to go off blood thinner medicine. Because I, also, have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, where I’ve had an average of 2 to 4 falls. a year, in my medical history, it’s important that I not be on blood thinners. If I had a brain bleed, resulting from a fall, where I injured my head, while I would be on blood thinners, I could easily bleed out, and die!
