Re: From My Heart
Hey Dave,
That's scary, and I'm really happy that your surgery went
well! Keep in touch with us!

Thanks to all who sent me the well wishes. Yes, it is amazing what
they can do
nowadays. They opened the chest and rib cage, took my heart out,
and stopped it
for half an hour! That would have caused the blood to be
intoxicated as there
would be no oxygyn pumping, so they cut two holes in my body and
circulated the
blood with a machine. The whole surgery took about 4 hours.
The doctor did warn that I might not come back, but I did!
I am recovering faster that my friends and doctors thought, so the
surgery must
have been very well done.
They even gave me a picture of my heart! One day I might scan it
and make an
alt-photo print of it. Ok, ok, maybe it is a bad attempt to make
this email on
topic.
Thanks again.
From my heart (which I can really show you),
Dave
