I am starting this blog five days before I have heart valve replacement surgery. I think the next couple of months here will be mostly about that experience as I keep friends and families appraised about what is going on and if receiving a porcine heart valve does cause one to begin grunting (or, in my case, grunting more than usual).
Re-considering that first paragraph, I wonder if I am living up to my own admonition to BE REAL.
A dear friend down the block from us had the same surgery last year and was decidedly more private than I am being. It does seem to be a good example of buries to this that any of you might care to read about my version of the same experience.
I guess that is part of being me. Shy enough not to make phone calls to me closest friends, but otherwise naked when talking to thousands.
My next post will be a repeat for some of you as I publish some email that I sent out when it became obvious that I would be doing this excursion into medical technology.
