Celebrating 10th Re-birthday Today

[Superbob]

Cake and ice cream, please! I call it my re-birthday because 10 years ago today I had my life-saving heart surgery, with an at-the-time still fairly new Medtronic Freestyle (porcine, stentless) replacing my extremely leaky aortic valve and badly enlarged aortic root. After 10 years, it and I still seem to be getting along with each other and doing well. There are no warranties, of course but I hope we can continue on this good course. As it is, I have been blessed to have enjoyed so many good things in life (grandchildren especially) over the first 10 years.

Just wanted to say I greatly appreciated all the well wishes here. Still trying to get my family to recognize my RE-birthday merits cake and ice cream as much as, if not more than, the original-issue birthday --- …maybe if I make it to 15, they will. :Smile:
