One year ago today around this time (6:00 pm) I was being wheeled out of surgery with a new aortic valve. Think I will drink to that.

I was away from the site for the weekend, and am just seeing this now, Fred. Congratulations on the big milestone! May you have so many returns of the day that you tire of counting them!

Thanks those of you who replied to my 1 year anniversary. I find it interesting that members on this group represent people from around the world: US (near Chicago), New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. Even though we live in different parts of the world, the heart issues we deal with bring us together with a common understanding.
I have been struggling with trying to write about the emotions I have experienced from being in the waiting room, having surgery and dealing with recovery. My thinking is that in sharing my emotions, others going through a similar experience may relate to it and feel some comfort in knowing they are not unique or alone with their feelings. However, I'm not sure I have the ability to communicate this effectively.
Given that, I would like your opinion on part of what I have already written. You can find it at: http://fredwilbur.com/one-year-later.pdf You are welcome to pm me your opinion.
