Hi John,
    Good luck with the valve job.  I had mine done 7 1/2 years ago.  Right after this list was started.  Some of the old guys to this list might remember way back then.
    I got a lot of good encouragement them.
    Ask the Surgeon what kind of warranty you get.  [smile]
    I asked my cardiologist if I got a 'Lifetime Warranty'.  I guess no one ever asked that of her before.  But she said yes. [smile]

Best of Luck,  I know what you are going through and will go through.

If you want to talk about it with me,  we can talk off list.
    After the surgery,  I went to a carving class and opened my shirt are said be, look what can happen if your knife slips.
One person never came back to the class.
oh, well.

Steve

     Good afternoon, Carvers

    Christmas lists are all fine and dandy, and mine was overflowing the morning after Thanksgiving when my Doctors office called with the news that if I wish to continue to carve into retirement, I'm going to have to have a heart valve replacement. A lifelong heart murmur has caught up with me, and it's either that or congestive heart failure a few years down the road.

    So...... needless to say, my list has rapidly shrunk down to : The ability to pick up a tool on Christmas morning with the intention of making a pile of chips from a block of wood of my choice. 

    No simpathy needed here, but if a few of you folks wish to cross your fingers (and Toes) for me , Nancy and I would appriecate it 

    From the Prairie,

          John
