Dr. has given me the OK to do anything I want. He says the valve
should be good for at least 20, maybe 30 years. There has been three
side effects from the surgery. 1.) I have more energy. 2.) I won't
be going bare chested on the beach - left ugly scar. 3.) When it is
quiet, I sound like a Big Ben alarm clock, tic, tic, tic. The up side
to that is it makes it very easy to take my pulse ;-. The down side
is that sometimes it makes it hard to fall asleep:-.

Hi Gary!

Open heart surgery and then this major clean up, looks like you are doing fine
;-)
