Well 8 years ago today I had just had my Ross Procedure and was on the road to recovery at Cleveland Clinic.
8 Years later I am doing very well.. Other than an aneurysm that we are watching and has been stable since it was found 4 years ago...all is well with my heart health.
It has been an interesting year this past one; alot has transpired in my personal life...I won't go into it hear...this is a thread of encouragement for those that are facing their valve replacement or have just topped the mountain and working their way through the early stages of recovery.
The road can be tough; especially the waiting for the surgery (that was the hardest part for me).....just keep your selves focused on the positive and all will turn out OK.
Recovery can be long for some and easy for others, mine was a mid-way recovery. Started off a bit tough and turned out to be fairly incident free. Again, concentrate on the positive things in life and move forward.
Remember "Everyday above the grass is better than a day beneath"
If you are "verticle and ventilating, than it is a beautiful day"
Looking at my thread title; I am wondering if I should play the lottery today....hell I've never had any real luck...I should get my son to play it for me.......he's the one with luck!
God Bless each of you and celebrate everyday. Life is too short to worry about the things you can not control....
I'll tip a beer to each of you later today when I have my official celbration....
