Maybe you should try and see this guy for another opinion:
This is great. Thanks!
I have a appt next Monday w/ another hematologist for a second opinion. The more I read about rib removal, the more I'm leaning towards it. The side effects and lifestyle changes that comes along with life-long warfarin in take is something I would prefer to avoid.

How long were you out of work for? From what I can see average recovery is about 6-8 weeks
