One Year Since Open heart Surgery
"A heart will never be practical until it can be made unbreakable." - L. Frank Baum
One year ago today, February 16, 2015, I embarked upon the most profound adventure of my life, as I put myself in the hands of a young heart surgeon at Temple University. He had told me that my heart condition would kill me if not treated. I trusted him to use his great talent and training to help me and he did not let me down. A year later I feel fully recovered and I'm enjoying my new lease on life.
It was a difficult recovery at times. Only the love and support of a wonderful spouse, many good friends, and our beautiful pets got me through it. To them I offer my undying gratitude.
To those facing open heart surgery in the future, know that all will be well with the support of loved ones and the passage of time.
