Thanks to all for your well wishes........and to Norma, I have no idea why I have been fortunate to go this long with few problems. I hope it continues to work for a few more years 'cause my goal is to get 50 years out of this old "bottle stopper" design that was patented in 1858. I doubt that early patent holder had any idea his design would lead to the first successful artificial heart valve.
47 years(Aug 16, 1967).....and counting

You are an inspiration, you had a VR almost 2 years before man landed on the moon. I can remember the moon landing from my first year at primary school 1969 (elementary school). I still think the moon landing will be the greatest human event I will witness in my lifetime.
