13 years and counting

[marc_kowal]

13 years ago, I was being wheeled into the O.R .for my aortic valve replacement/ bentall procedure surgery. As I was kissing my wife goodbye, I gave her my wedding ring and told her I was coming back for this. Needless to say, a couple hours later that ring was back on my finger.

There are been a few little hiccups along the way, but for the most part, I still live the same active life I had been prior to being diagnosed. For all of you newcomers, yes, it can be traumatic and overwhelming with the seriousness of heart surgery, but life does go on.

Hope everyone is doing well and now it’s off to work!

Congratulations and we hope you have many more!
