Heart Surgery Early Tomorrow Feb. 16

Well, I got 66 years out of a congenitally defective aortic valve, so tomorrow it will be time to get it fixed along with an aneurysm and aortic root replacement. They use dacron tubing as a graft, basically a medical plumbing repair :) I've asked my husband Dan to post an update here when he can. I'll be hospitalized for about a week, but I'll be back as soon as I can. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts.

Sending thoughts and prayers, Jim--and good luck wishes to your surgeon. I know you will feel great after it is over and you are fully recovered for the next 66 years!
