I'm only coming up on 11 months since my surgery date. I was just thinking today how amazingly good I feel. It got me kind of choked up emotionally. I do that fairly easily these days. Still trying to understand it. Anyway what I was going to say is that my surgical anniversary is coming up on August 11. I know it's just a day, the same as any other for the most part. But I can't stop thinking about it. I'm looking forward to it like a little kid looking forward to a birthday or Christmas! I'm still trying to decide how I even want to celebrate. Not with any fanfare or hoopla. Just something special for me to make the day meaningful. I have a couple ideas brewing but haven't come to any conclusions yet. Does anyone have any special ritual type thing they do to make the anniversary of their surgery significant? Anyway it probably just sounds like I'm rambling so I'll try to end this here.
On a side note here is a great little read about the emotional side of heart surgery for men. I read it and it got me all worked up because I so easily identify with it. http://drhoffman.com/article/when-i...-men-can-feel-emotional/#sthash.FgQ2gTED.dpbs
