Grog, I have been enjoying your blog. I like the fact that you are considering your surgery your second birthday. That's the way I have referred to the day I had the heart attack. It was my second birthday. It's good that you can avoid the blood thinners. I will be on Plavix for the rest of my life. My cardiologist actually told me to avoid car accidents so I don't bleed out. No joke, that's what she said. I joke that I don't really have blood anymore it's more like colored water. I have recently begun carving and I am getting more serious about it and so I have invested in good gloves and a sturdy apron just so I don't puncture myself and bleed out. I hope everything goes well for you, I am thinking of you. My father had quintuple bypass surgery and everything went just as it was supposed to and his recovery was super fast. The miracles of modern medicine are just that.
