I don't like to dwell too much on my surgery and recovery, but what else is there? I still have trouble concentrating enough to read deep. But I am still thinking, but still occupied with the whole experience.
So, do I recommend it? That is do I recommend open heart surgery? More accurately, was the fun I had for 58 or so years clogging my arteries worth the pain of Cbbg X 4 and the current ongoing recovery.
I guess it is analogous to our life and Heaven vs. Hell. We can chase pleasure, power, wealth and (supposed) happiness for our 58 or 93 years or whatever time we have on this Earth and consequently suffer Hell.
Of course surgery and recovery is not eternal, so the analogy eventually breaks down.
But going forward, I certainly will try to avoid a repeat even if I need to suffer a little bit more. I am finding out that many of my elderly neighbors have had multiple open hearts. Not sure I am man enough to go through it again.
Oremus pro invicem!

We are praying daily for your recovery. We read all of your updates. Hang in there.
Wow, you’re too young (I mean “we’re”, since I’m about same age) for this. I only realized how serious that surgery was after reading western author Larry McMurtry on his a few years back. Glad it was successful surgery and pray you’ll be at 100% soon.
Btw this was Tom Smith
Thanks for the prayers. Am recovering on schedule, even with a few complications or discomforts. Can't complain - I am alive!
