I finally got the news; I will have surgery on Feb 8th and today is my birthday. I look at this as a good birthday present. I am still relatively healthy and my heart is in good shape except for my Aortic Value. The plan is to have Dr Petterson at the Cleveland Clinic do the surgery giving me a human value. What is most exciting about this news is getting back on my mountain bike by this fall and riding the trails. That is what I miss the most when I was told to stop doing certain exercises. What I really don't miss is the running. Well, I do miss it since I can't run now. I plan to work up to a 5K run (most likely walk) by this fall and back to the 1/2 marathon by the following derby day (first Saturday in May 08). Yes, I am excited.
