Home after the Big Cut!

[Lawdog]

Hi Everyone:

Just got home this afternoon from MGH! Surgery was successful and I am home resting sort-of comfortably. Please excuse typos - I am on heavy narcotics.

Highlights from the event:
Ascending aneurysm turned out to be 5.2 cm.
BAV turned out to be a funky MAV. Surgeon claimed it was rubbery and "dismorthpic".
Received an ON-X, which I am pumped about.

Thank you all for you prayers and we'll wishes - they were felt. More updates soon.

welcome home ... so, firstly

* follow orders
* take small steps forwards, do not over step and slide back

I look fwd to your posts in a year saying how the first anniversary has flown by and you're doing well
